Comparison of Individualized and Non-Specific Videoprompts in Teaching Daily Living Skills to Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders

ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The Pennsylvania State University
Three elementary students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) participated in this study, which examined generalization effects of video self-prompting to teach daily living skills. Video self-prompting involves students controlling video-prompts, which show shortened video clips of someone performing steps of a target skill. The student then performs individual steps of the skill before proceeding to the next video clip. An adapted alternating treatments design was used to compare individualized and nonspecific video-prompts in teaching six daily living skills. The individualized video-prompts were tailored to each student in terms of the model used, materials, and setting, while the non-specific set of video-prompts used an unknown adult as the model, different materials, and a novel setting. The video-prompts and daily living skills were counterbalanced within and across participants. Improvements were noted for both the individualized and the non-specific video-prompts for all three students and all six skills. All three students required a slightly higher number of sessions to meet 100% correct using the non-specific video-prompts than the individualized video-prompts. One student was able to maintain the target skills two and four weeks post-intervention without the use of video-prompts. Limitations of the study, suggestions for future research, and implications for educators are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
