Transition can refer to the termination of one activity and initiation of another activity or movement across locations. Transitioning is a fundamental skill required for independence. However, individuals with developmental disabilities often require direct additional instruction to ensure their independent transitioning. Video modeling, an…

Effective professional development is critical for improving implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in special education. The present systematic review sought to gather evidence exploring the effects and key components of in-service special education teacher training in EBPs. This review identifies six essential components of training…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of using video-enhanced activity schedules on a laptop on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of schedule following, and pretend play skills in children with ASD. In addition, social validity data were collected from the teachers and the mothers of the participating children. Four…

Three elementary students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participated in this study, which compared video self-prompting using individualized videos and video self-prompting using non-specific videos. Video self-prompting involves students controlling video-prompts, which show shortened video clips of someone performing steps of a target…

This study's aim was to investigate the effectiveness of video modeling presented with tablet PC on teaching job interview skills to individuals who have developmental disabilities. Participants of the study were two men and a woman whose ages were 21-24 and whose diagnosis was developmental disability. The research was carried out with multiple…

As the number of students with autism included in general education (GE) increases, researchers highlight the impact of attitudes, knowledge, and experiences of GE teachers on successful inclusion. One way to support teachers is to link evidence-based autism practices to existing training initiatives. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an…

This study investigated an intervention package that combined Skillstreaming procedures with video modeling for the development of social skills for middle school students identified with and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A multiple probe design across participants was employed to assess the effectiveness of the video modeling intervention…

Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional death among children worldwide. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at higher risk for incidents of drowning then their non-disabled peers. Mastering water safety skills, such as underwater submersion, has been associated with a decreased risk for incidents of drowning. Using a combined…

This paper presents a study that evaluated the efficacy of a video self-modeling intervention derived from a functional behavior assessment intervention on the aggressive behavior of two students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disabilities. A multiple baseline design across stimulus conditions with inter-subject…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of two error correction (EC) procedures: modeling alone and the use of an error statement plus modeling. Utilizing an alternating treatments design nested into a multiple baseline design across participants, we sought to evaluate and compare the effects of these two EC procedures used to…

The purpose of the present study was to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of simultaneous prompting with and without video modeling in teaching food preparation skills to four participants with autism spectrum disorder, whose ages ranged from 5 to 6 years old. An adapted alternating treatment single-case experimental design was used to…

Self-instruction is a pivotal skill that promotes independence and self-determination by allowing individuals to independently access prompts during the acquisition of new skills while decreasing the need for support from another person. Self-mediated video modeling (SMVM) and video self-prompting (VSP) are two methods of video-based…

Self-instruction for individuals with an intellectual disability can be viewed as a pivotal skill in that once learned this skill has collateral effects on future behaviors in various environments. This study used a multiple probe across participants design to evaluate video modeling to teach high school students with an intellectual disability to…

This investigation examined the ability of four adults with moderate intellectual disability to complete multi-component tasks using continuous video modeling. Continuous video modeling, which is a newly researched application of video modeling, presents video in a "looping" format which automatically repeats playing of the video while…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of video modeling with a constant time delay procedure to teach social safety skills to three young women with intellectual disability. A multiple probe design across three social safety skills (responding to strangers who: requested personal information; requested money; and entered the participant's…
