The purpose of this A-B subject research design was to investigate the efficacy of video self-modeling with video feedback using an iPad to promote social initiation skills in a young child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It was hypothesized that the participant would increase social initiations toward peers in an inclusive preschool classroom by viewing a video of himself performing four targeted behaviors. The participant's paraprofessional and his early childhood special educator implemented the intervention and provided feedback on his performance. Findings of this case study revealed improvements in the four
This study investigated the efficacy of Video Self-Modeling (VSM) with video feedback using iPads to improve independent transitioning of two young children, a first grader and a preschooler, with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) across play activities and school routines. It was hypothesized that participants would transition independently through play activities and daily routines after watching their exemplary behaviors on an iPad. Teachers and teacher assistants delivered the intervention in inclusive classrooms. An A-B-A-B research design was used with the first grader whereas an A-B-
The aim of this study was to promote question-asking initiations of young children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Participants in this study were two boys, a first grader and a kindergartner. A multiple baseline single subject study design explored the efficacy of video selfmodeling with video feedback delivered via iPads. New video vignettes of participants displaying the target behavior with peers were created and utilized throughout the implementation of the intervention. Results showed an increase in appropriate question-asking initiations with peers for both participants. One of the participants maintained the skills one month after the intervention was withdrawn. Social validity findings indicated positive results related to question-asking initiations as well as other social skills.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
