A Meta-Analysis of Video Modeling and Video Self-Modeling Interventions for Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder

By Scott Bellini & Jennifer Akullian (2007)

The Study

This meta-analysis examined the effectiveness of video modeling and video self-modeling (VSM) interventions for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Twenty-three single-subject design studies were included in the meta-analysis. Intervention, maintenance, and generalization effects were measured by computing the percentage of nonoverlapping data points (PND). Results suggest that video modeling and VSM are effective intervention strategies for addressing social-communication skills, functional skills and behavioral functioning in children and adolescents with ASD. Results also indicate that these procedures promote skill acquisition and that skills acquired via video modeling and VSM are maintained over time and transferred across persons and settings. The result suggest that video modeling and VSM intervention strategies meet criteria for designation as an evidence-based practices.

Use of Video Modeling to Increase Generalization of Social Play by Children with Autism

By Christos K Nikopoulos (2007)

The Study

The use of video modeling to increase generalization of social play skills in children with autism is discussed. The possible reasons that have made this procedure so favorable among researchers and practitioners are explored. Two studies are described in which video modeling increased the generalization of social play in 6 children, and critical features of procedure are emphasized. Suggestions regarding the potential mechanisms responsible for the effectiveness of this procedure are discussed relative to basic behavioral theory and research.

Telehealth & Autism: Treating Challenging Behavior at Lower Cost

By Scott Lindgren, David Wacker, Alyssa Suess, Kelly Schieltz, Kelly Pelzel, Todd Kopelman, John Lee, Patrick Romani, Debra Waldron (2016)

The Study

A study "to determine whether challenging behavior in young children with autism and abstract other developmental disabilities can be treated successfully at lower cost by using telehealth to train parents to implement applied behavior analysis (ABA)."

Teaching generalization of purchasing skills across community settings to autistic youth using videotape modeling.

By Haring, Kennedy, Adams & Pitts-Conway (1987)

The Study

"Three young autistic adults were trained to purchase items. Training was conducted in one setting with concurrent generalization probes taken in three community stores. Training in one setting failed to produce generalization to the three probe settings. Generalization training, which consisted of viewing videotapes of models who purchased items in the probe settings and answering questions about the models' responses, was then introduced. Training with the videotapes resulted in generalization to the three community stores. Results of the use of videotapes as a cost-effective means to program generalization in community training programs are discussed." (emphasis added by GemIIni)

Video Modeling - One of the most evidence-based treatments for children with special needs

GemIIni By Gemiini Systems

The Study

Over the past three decades, research has demonstrated that video modeling is an invaluable, evidencebased tool for teaching a variety of skills to children with Down syndrome, autism or other language delays. More importantly, scores of studies have shown that once a skill is learned through video modeling, it is maintained over time and generalized across settings.
