O'Rourke and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Video prompting has been demonstrated to be an effective method of teaching new skills to individuals with intellectual disabilities. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of using video prompting with or without error correction delivered via an Apple iPod Touch on the acquisition of vocational tasks for three individuals with intellectual disabilities. The participants were selected through teacher nomination and the two targeted vocational tasks were determined based upon equivalence of difficulty and teacher suggestion. The tasks selected were dust mopping and wet mopping. Both tasks required the use of standard janitorial equipment and were performed within the hallways of the participants' school. A multiple probe combined with an adapted alternating treatments design was used to assess the level of skill acquisition for each of the two tasks. Results showed that for two participants, the acquisition of skills was equal under both conditions, and was slightly better in the absence of the error correction procedure for the remaining participant.

Download or read book Using Self directed Video Prompting for Skill Acquisition with Post secondary Students with Intellectual Developmental Disabilities written by Eliseo Dave Jimenez and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation contains three stand-alone papers on the topic of using video prompting and self-directed video prompting to teach individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The literature review examined the current body of literature to better understand if and how video prompting was being utilized with individuals with moderate to profound disabilities. Additionally, maintenance and generalization measures were examined to determine the extent to which each was being utilized and measured. Overall, there were positive results for the use of video prompting as a stand-alone procedure and as a packaged intervention. Additionally, there were positive results for the studies that included maintenance and/or generalization measures. Using the information from the literature review, the research paper presents a study that taught two individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities vocational and daily living skills using self-directed video prompting. Following task mastery, maintenance probes were conducted for 2 weeks starting 1-week post-mastery. Results showed that both students acquired novel skills across all three tiers, indicating that individuals can acquire novel tasks with minimal prompting with self-directed video prompting. The third paper is a practitioner paper that teachers and other practitioners can use to teach their students how to independently provide their own video prompts and how they can promote generalization after students have learned self-directed video prompting.
Download or read book The Effects of Video Prompting for Activities of Daily Living with Preschool Students with Significant Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities written by Lindsey Adele Penrod and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often need to be explicitly taught activities of daily living (ADLs) that will lead to a more independent lifestyle. Research indicates that the earlier interventions begin, the bigger impact they may have on the individual. Video prompting is one way that has been shown to be effective in teaching individuals with IDD ADLs. This study used a multiple probe across tasks design to determine whether two preschoolers with IDD would acquire ADLs with video prompting. Imitation skills were also assessed to determine if skill acquisition using video prompting was impacted by imitation skills. Results indicate that video prompting with error correction was successful in teaching one participant ADLs. The second participant did not acquire the skills with video prompting and error correction alone. When vivo teaching was implemented, minor increases were made, but mastery was not reached with the second participant. Results of the imitation assessment show that the participant who acquired ADLs with video prompting had a high level of imitation skills prior to the intervention. The student who did not acquire the skills had a low level of imitation skills. This indicates that imitation could be a possible indicator of the effectiveness of video prompting as an intervention for individuals with IDD. The paper will discuss further procedures of generalization, limitations, and areas for future research.
Download or read book The Use of Video Prompting Via an Ipad and a System of Least to Most Prompting to Teach Individuals with Moderate Intellectual Disabilities the Vocational Task of Rolling Silverware written by Kelly Williams and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of video prompting delivered via an iPad® in combination with a system of least-to-most prompting to teach individuals with intellectual disabilities the vocational task of rolling silverware. A single subject, multiple probe research design was used to determine whether there was a functional relationship between the use of video prompting and a system of least-to-most prompting and video prompting alone and the percentage of steps completed correctly in the task of rolling silverware. The findings from this study support the use of video prompting delivered via an iPad® to increase the correct independent responding of individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities on the vocational task of rolling silverware. Additionally, findings support the pairing of a system of least-to-most prompting with video prompting. This study showed that although both were effective, using the system of least-to-most prompting in conjunction with video prompting resulted in acquisition of skills in fewer trials than video prompting alone.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efficient vocational skills instruction is needed to meet the needs of a growing number of job-seekers with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). This study examines the effects of self-directed video prompting used to teach transition-age students with IDD chained vocational tasks. A multiple baseline design across behaviors was replicated across two participants. Both participants mastered iPhone navigation after observing a model and completing 2–3 sessions in a training phase. After training, students independently navigated the iPhone and played video prompts. Both students made substantial progress on all three tasks, reaching 100% accuracy in two of the tasks. Students were given the opportunity to self-fade in maintenance sessions following mastery of all three tasks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long recognized that investments in public education contribute to the common good, enhancing national prosperity and supporting stable families, neighborhoods, and communities. Education is even more critical today, in the face of economic, environmental, and social challenges. Today's children can meet future challenges if their schooling and informal learning activities prepare them for adult roles as citizens, employees, managers, parents, volunteers, and entrepreneurs. To achieve their full potential as adults, young people need to develop a range of skills and knowledge that facilitate mastery and application of English, mathematics, and other school subjects. At the same time, business and political leaders are increasingly asking schools to develop skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and self-management - often referred to as "21st century skills." Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century describes this important set of key skills that increase deeper learning, college and career readiness, student-centered learning, and higher order thinking. These labels include both cognitive and non-cognitive skills- such as critical thinking, problem solving, collaboration, effective communication, motivation, persistence, and learning to learn. 21st century skills also include creativity, innovation, and ethics that are important to later success and may be developed in formal or informal learning environments. This report also describes how these skills relate to each other and to more traditional academic skills and content in the key disciplines of reading, mathematics, and science. Education for Life and Work: Developing Transferable Knowledge and Skills in the 21st Century summarizes the findings of the research that investigates the importance of such skills to success in education, work, and other areas of adult responsibility and that demonstrates the importance of developing these skills in K-16 education. In this report, features related to learning these skills are identified, which include teacher professional development, curriculum, assessment, after-school and out-of-school programs, and informal learning centers such as exhibits and museums.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities struggle to find integrated employment because of their challenges with vocational task acquisition and completion. In this study, self-directed video prompting on iPads was used with three male participants with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A multiple probe across tasks design was used to determine the effects of the intervention on the accuracy of vocational task acquisition in integrated employment settings. Prior to intervention with self-directed video prompting in the integrated employment setting, a multiple probe across participants design was used to determine the effects of a training package for teaching iPad usage consisting of modeling and least-to-most prompting on a training task. All three participants acquired device usage in two to five trials. The participants all acquired three vocational tasks in the course of the study and demonstrated generalization to new materials, settings, or people in two of their three tasks.
Download or read book Effects of Video Prompting Via an IPad on Vocational Skill Development of Secondary Students with Autism written by Patricia D. Lund and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current laws stress the importance of using research-based practices to teach transition and vocational skills to students with disabilities. Some of the evidence-based practices include the use of videos to prompt students through a task. Much research has been done concerning the effectiveness of video prompts to teach daily living skills, academic skills and social skills. Transitional skills that have been taught often include simple, entry level skills such as watering plants, cooking soup in the microwave or setting a table. To date, there is little research regarding the use of video prompts to teach complex employment skills that can help students reach competitive employment. The current research attempts to study the effectiveness of video prompting using a multiple baseline ABA research design. Participants included two high school studentswith autism. Both students were taught how to use woodworking tools to make a key rack. Independent task completion and quality check scores were analyzed and graphed. Both students showed an increase in the number of skills they could perform independently and the overall quality of their work from baseline to intervention. One student was able to maintain the skills after the video prompts were moved. The other student showed a slight decrease in scores after the intervention was removed. Future studies should seek to replicate the study in order to determine a functional relationship between video prompting and independent vocational task completion.
Download or read book Effective Practices for Children with Autism written by James K. Luiselli and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-13 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children who have autism require comprehensive educational and treatment services. There are a myriad of approaches currently recommended to practitioners and parents, but little is known about their efficacy. Which are the most effective in teaching skills, overcoming behavior challenges, and improving quality of life? Methods must be based in research settings, but be easily extended to real world settings where children with autism live, go to school, socialize, and recreate. Identifying and validating effective practices is a complex and multi-faceted process, but an essential one for responsible research and practice. This book brings together multiple and contemporary perspectives on intervention effectiveness for autism education and behavior support. With contributors from a variety of disciplines and orientations, Effective Practices for Children with Autism presents a critical appraisal of current practice standards, emphasizing empirically supported procedures and research-to-practice applications. By bringing together a diverse group of authors, the editors have ensured that the vast field of information on interventions for children with autism is thoroughly examined, and that no topic has gone untouched. Written for practitioners, research scientists, and clinicians, the book is an essential framework for evaluating educational and treatment procedures, selecting those that are most effective, and evaluating outcomes.
