Currently, resources surrounding the effects of behavioral artistry within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) are very limited. The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which a staff training package was able to increase demonstrations of 'perceptive sensitivity', a domain of behavioral artistry, among behavior technicians (BT). Furthermore, this study assessed the accuracy of participant observations when identifying behaviors related to client disengagement. This study examined levels of 'perceptive sensitivity' using a concurrent multiple probe across participants design, in which participant latency to identification of client disengagement behaviors were examined. Results showed that all participants improved demonstrations of 'perceptive sensitivity' as well as accuracy of identifying client disengagement behaviors.
