About

Dr. Margaret T. Floress is a leading researcher at the intersection of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and telehealth technology. Her work focuses on expanding access to evidence-based behavioral interventions, particularly for children with autism spectrum disorder, by leveraging innovative digital tools. Dr. Floress’s most influential contribution is her 2020 paper, "Technology to Facilitate Telehealth in Applied Behavior Analysis," which has garnered 23 citations and serves as a foundational guide for practitioners transitioning from traditional center-based ABA to remote service delivery—a shift accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. She further advanced this field by investigating practitioner adoption of novel technologies, as seen in her 2021 study on teachers’ willingness to use telepresence robots for consultation, which has earned 12 citations. This work not only highlights practical barriers and facilitators to telehealth implementation but also underscores her commitment to bridging the gap between technological innovation and clinical practice. Dr. Floress’s research is essential reading for behavior analysts and educators seeking to deliver effective, accessible care in an increasingly digital world.
