Observational Learning and Children with Autism
Taylor, Bridget A.; DeQuinzio, Jaime A.
Behavior Modification, v36 n3 p341-360 May 2012
A skill essential for successful inclusion in general education settings is the ability to learn by observing others. Research, however, has documented children with autism display significant deficits in the fundamental skills necessary for observational learning. This article outlines the skills essential for observational learning from an operant learning perspective, the research base on teaching observational learning to children with autism, and suggests practical strategies to increase these skills in children with autism so they may more fully benefit from inclusion in general education settings.
