Abstract
In this article review, Catherine Jessel begins by interviewing Dr. Cory Whelan, the lead author of “Randomized Controlled Trial of Seminar-Based Training on Accurate and General Implementation of Practical Functional Assessments” (2021). They discuss (a) the inspiration and motivation behind the article, (b) further recommended readings, and (c) the experience Dr. Whelan had while conducting the study.

They discuss the specifics of (a) the design, (b) the training format, and (c) the results. The take-home message is that the seminar-based training conducted in this study produced meaningful change in participants’ abilities to conduct PFAs with real-life clients.
