Recommended: Use of video modeling with children with ASD

Video Modeling to Improve Academic and Social Skills for Children with Autism Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often require systematic and intensive interventions in order to develop appropriate social and academic behaviors. One intervention that has been used with some success on improving a variety of behaviors is video modeling (Acar & Diken, 2012; Wang, Cui, & Parrila, 2011; Wilson, 2013). Video modeling involves the process of creating a video of a person or persons exhibiting a desired behavior and subsequently showing the video in a planned, systematic manner to the individual in need of intervention with the intent to measure imitation of the desired behavior by the viewer (McCoy & Hermansen, 2007). This intervention has …show more content…

The majority of studies on video modeling to date have focused on the development of social skills. Play skills are a common focus. Taylor, Levin, and Jasper (1999) found that video modeling improved the spontaneous play comments in the two young participants in their study. Nikopoulos and Keenan (2003) conducted a study measuring social play initiation and reciprocal play skills among seven participants with ASD. After treatment with video modeling, four of the seven participants demonstrated growth in the targeted areas. The same authors conducted a subsequent study in which three participants were treated with video modeling. An increase in both the initiation of social play and reciprocal play skills were observed in each of the three participants (Nikopoulos & Keenan, 2004). Nikopoulos and Keenen partnered together again …show more content…

Nicopoulos and Keenan (2003) used familiar adults, unfamiliar adults, and peers in their study. The same two authors used neurotypical peers paired with adults in their 2004 study (Nicopoulos & Keenan, 2004). Sherer, et al. (2001) compared the use of self-modeling to video modeling with peers as modeling. They found that both types of models yielded similar outcomes. In the study by Taylor, Levin, and Jasper (1999), siblings of the participants were paired with adult models in the videos. In the study by Kagohara, et al. (2013), humans were not used as models in the videos; the authors created videos using cartoon models. This method yielded positive outcomes among the

    Incidental teaching focuses on child-initiated interactions. (Hall, 2013) Incidental teaching is used to increase skills of individuals with autism spectrum disorders. (Hall, 2013) A study done by Hart and Risley (1975) looked at the incidental teaching process used at the preschool age to aide in teaching language. Incidental teaching has been the most frequent strategy that has been used to teach language. When using incidental teaching a child’s request may be verbal or nonverbal. Examples include reaching for an object that is out of one’s reach, requesting food or a toy or calling an adult’s name. There is a series of decisions that an adult can use to respond to the child’s request. These choices include: if the occasion should be used for incidental teaching: if so then a choice regarding the language behavior that is obtained from the child, and then a choice has to be made concerning the cue that will be used to initiate instruction, the cur could be focus of attention by itself, or in addition to the focused attention a verbal cue as well. If the individual does not respond to the cue, then a choice concerning the degree of prompt to be used, the “fullest degree: a request for imitation; medium degree: a request for partial imitation, or minimal degree: a request for the terminal language behavior.” (Hart & Risley, 1975) This study was performed on boys and girls between the ages of four years old to five years old. The baseline procedures ensured that the children had a variety of vocabulary for use in sentences. The sentences that they were taught was “I want x so I can y.” The second step of the procedure was the use of incidental teaching of compound sentences directed to teachers. After thirty-six days of school, the incidental teaching began to occur when the children needed assistance in trying to get different preschool materials.

  • Discrete Trial Teaching: A Teaching Method

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    Discrete trial teaching is a teaching method classified by the fast pace delivery and shortened period of instructions (5-20 seconds) and incorporation of prompts, which is also referred to as errorless learning. DTT is under the umbrella of ABA and it is a method used to teach new skills and behaviors to children on the autism spectrum. As well DTT uses a unique style of teaching, errorless learning. Which unlike the normal teaching of trial and error. This style of teaching has been shown to be very effective with children with autism. Furthermore, Applied Behavior analysis seeks to address the antecedent and consequences of behavior ( Hunter class). There is over 60 years of research to support the effectiveness of ABA to address the behavior or children with development disabilities. Furthermore we discussed in lecture that punishment and reinforcement are the driving principle behind changing behavior. DTT uses carefully timed reinforcement to support newly learned behaviors and skills. This research indicates that the use of ABA leads to very effective results in children. (Hunter, 2015)

  • Personal Narrative: Autonomy Vs. Shame Stage

    In early childhood we try to find our will and have to successfully pass the autonomy versus shame stage, which is the second stage of Erikson’s study. Achieving some of my mild milestones helped me throughout the process of completing this stage. Some of the milestones include being toilet trained, beginning to speak, starting to run and dressing myself. I always loved to dress myself. One time I put on my sisters dance costume and danced around house acting like a ballerina. This action reminded me of the modeling theory, which is a learned behavior by observing another individual and engaging in that behavior. After a while my sister would become annoyed because I would never leave her alone and I continuously copied everything that she

  • Social Interaction Skills in Children With Autism

    2909 Words  | 6 Pages

    Children with autism have multiple characteristic impairments in their social interaction skills. This results from the lack of “Theory of Mind” in autistic individuals. Autistic children have difficulty interpreting what another person may be thinking or feeling. Social impairments may cause the child to act inappropriately in social interactions and prevent the children from truly taking part in interactions. The children have difficulty recognizing social cues and responding to cues. Autistic children have a hard time forming relationships as a result of these impairments. Social stories, Applied Behavior Analysis, and Pivotal Response Training are three therapy techniques that help children with autism learn appropriate social behavior. Social stories allow the children to practice the situation in a lower stress environment. Applied Behavior Analysis utilizes positive reinforce to teach desired skills. Pivotal Response Training allows the child to learn social skills while in a natural play environment. Learning social skills through these techniques enable the children to have more meaningful relationships and engage more in their community.

    Learning is a part of an individual’s everyday life. As a typically developing individual learns new skill sets, he or she is constantly applying their knowledge in various ways across their childhood, adolescence and adulthood independently. Individuals diagnosed with a developmental delay such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) need additional assistance to acquire new skill sets. ASD is a neurological disorder that affects multiple areas of an individual’s development such as communication, cognitive, motor, and adaptive skills (Donaldson & Stahmer, 2014). Individuals diagnosed with ASD often face challenges when learning essential self-help skills such as eating, toileting, dressing and personal hygiene skills. Applied Behavior Analysis

    Children who suffer from ASD usually have the appearance of normal development and then become withdrawn and regress from social interaction (Melinda Smith, 2013). The impaired social interaction of the disorder affects communication both verbally and non- verbally (Melinda Smith, 2013). Their communication with others and the world around them is also affected, as well as their thinking and behavior (Melinda Smith, 2013).

    In a study by Schmit, Alper, and Raschke (2000), the effects of using a photographic cueing system during routine school transitions with a child who has autism were evaluated. The use of a pictorial visual support system indicated to the student that an activity change was about to occur. The target student was a 6-year-old boy who lived in a rural, Midwestern community; his family included his biological parents and a sister without disabilities, who was 5 years older than Alex. Alex was diagnosed with autism at the age of 4, and at the time of the study was not verbal except for saying the word “no”. The setting of the study took place in a public school special education classroom that Alex attended four days a week. Beginning approximate...
