This book was released on 2012 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This single-subject research study was designed to examine the effects of point-of-view video modeling (POVM) on the symbolic play actions and play-associated language of four preschool students with autism. A multiple baseline design across participants was conducted in order to evaluate the effectiveness of using POVM as an intervention for students with autism. The participants were between the ages of 3 and 4 years old and enrolled in a special education preschool program in a public school district in a Mid-Atlantic state. Students were paired with typically developing preschool peers from general education classes at the same school as the participants with autism. Prior to the implementation of the video model, baseline data were collected from students during play with a randomly selected play partner participant and the same materials later shown in the video model. Regulated randomization procedures for multiple baseline design were used to randomize students to each tier of intervention and randomly assign the treatment starting point from a designated interval of acceptable start points. Dependent measures included (a) scripted symbolic play actions, (b) scripted play-associated language utterances, (c) spontaneous symbolic play actions, and (d) spontaneous play-associated language utterances. During intervention, the participants with autism were shown a video clip demonstrating symbolic play actions and play-associated language utterances from their perspective immediately prior to engaging in a 7-minute play session with a play partner participant. The variety of symbolic play actions and play-associated language utterances were recorded and measured during all phases. Additionally, partial interval recording was used to record frequency of inappropriate play behaviors. Maintenance data were collected after the immediate removal of the POVM and one week after the conclusion of the intervention phase. Generalization data were collected for a novel but similar play set to that in the video model. A checklist for procedural reliability was completed for 68% of sessions across all phases and participants and calculated to be 100%. Interobserver agreement was calculated for 31.58% of sessions across all phases and participants and was averaged at 90.81%. Social validity measures were collected from the teacher, instructional assistants, and therapists that work with each participant. Additionally, information about student perceptions was collected from each participant using a visual choice menu. A visual analysis was conducted for the data collected across the four dependent variables and one ancillary finding for each participant. The visual analysis involved interpretation of the level, trend, variability, overlap, immediacy, and consistency of data points. Percent of Non-overlapping Data (PND) and randomization tests were also used for analysis. Overall findings from the study indicate that (a) three out of four preschool participants with autism increased the variety of scripted symbolic play actions after watching the POVM, (b) three out of four preschool participants with autism increased the variety of spontaneous symbolic play actions after watching the POVM, (c) one out of four preschool participants with autism increased the variety of scripted playassociated language utterances, (d) two out of four preschool participants with autism increased the variety of spontaneous play-associated language utterances, and (e) three out of four preschool participants with autism decreased the frequency of inappropriate play behaviors. In reference to maintenance of behaviors, (a) all four participants maintained the variety of scripted symbolic play actions, (b) all four participants maintained the variety of spontaneous symbolic play actions, (c) one out of four participants maintained the variety of scripted play-associated language utterances, (d) two out of four participants maintained the variety of spontaneous play-associated language utterances, and (e) three out of four participants maintained a reduction in the frequency of inappropriate play behaviors. Regarding generalization of behaviors for the dependent variables, (a) two out of four of the participants demonstrated a variety of scripted symbolic play actions from the intervention play set when playing with another car-based play set, (b) all four participants demonstrated a variety of spontaneous symbolic play actions during generalization with a different car-based play set, (c) one out of four participants produced a variety of scripted play-associated language utterances from the intervention during play with a different car-based play set, (d) two out of four participants produced a variety of spontaneous play-associated language utterances when playing with the generalization play set, and (e) three out of four participants were able to maintain a reduced frequency of inappropriate play behaviors during generalization probes. The results of the regulated randomization test indicated a statistical difference between the students variety of scripted play actions (p = 0.0078) and frequency of inappropriate play behaviors (p = 0.0104). There was no statistical difference between the students' variety of spontaneous play actions (p = 0.2708), scripted language utterances (p = 0.7396), or spontaneous language utterances (p = 0.7031). Recommendations were discussed with respect to future research and practical uses of POVM to assist with teaching symbolic play actions, play-associated language utterances, and improving student behavior.

Download or read book Understanding and Evaluating Autism Theory written by Nick Chown and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the full spectrum of theoretical output associated with autism and Asperger syndrome, this is the complete guide to autism theory - spanning from mainstream and alternative, through to non-autism specific theories that might be applied to autism. Previous study on autism has made significant inroads into the individual branches of autism theory, however, no text has brought together the complete range of theories in an accessible textbook for students and academics. The author argues that a more obvious application of theory to autism intervention would be beneficial to practitioners. With access to the complete range of available autism and Asperger syndrome theory, from development theories to learning style theories, the academics and students working towards the practical application of theory to intervention will have all the necessary information at their disposal. The book is based on a series of autism theory lectures delivered for the NAS and Sheffield Hallam University.

Download or read book The Effects of First person Point of view Video Modeling on the Acquisition of Job related Social Skills for Young Adults with Developmental Disabilities written by Kayla J. Jenssen and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a growing emphasis on autism-related services, many young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) continue to struggle with social skills deficits. Thus, these individuals are severely underemployed and unprepared to function in vocational settings. One instructional method that has been used to teach social skills is video modeling, though research has focused primarily on applications with young children. First-person point-of-view (FPPOV) video models are videos that show a skill or task being performed from the same perspective as the learner would see it occur when completing it. Past research on FPPOV video modeling is limited, and most of the available research has demonstrated changes in behavior only when FPPOV video models are implemented with additional instruction or intervention. The current study extended the video modeling literature and examined the effectiveness of FPPOV video modeling as a stand-alone instructional tool for job-related social skills, and the generalization of these skills to employment settings for individuals ages 18 to 26 with developmental disabilities. Results suggest that FPPOV video models alone were not effective for teaching job-related social skills until embedded in the Behavioral Skills Training (BST) package or after the addition of enhanced video features.

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Research in Assessment and Evaluation in Early Childhood Education written by Olivia Saracho and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers, educators, professional organizations, administrators, parents, and policy makers have increased their involvement in the assessment and evaluation of early childhood education programs. This interest has developed swiftly during the last decades. The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Association of Early Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NAECS/SDE) developed a position statement titled, “Early childhood curriculum, assessment, and program evaluation: Building an effective, accountable system in programs for children birth through age 8,” to address related trends, issues, guiding principles, and values. Appropriate and well-designed evaluations need to address several audiences including researchers, educators, policy makers, children, and parents. They need to encourage the implementation of a strong foundation that improves the quality of the children’s education. Child assessment and program evaluation can lead to effective results and better accountability for preschool, kindergarten, and primary school programs. The purpose of this volume is to share a collection of research strands on contemporary perspectives on research in assessment and evaluation in early childhood education. It provides a review and critical analysis of the literature on assessment and evaluation of programs, children, teachers, and settings. The volume begins with a brief introductory chapter that presents the reader with a map of the area, laying out the issues and alternatives, and linking these to the chapters that follow. It addresses several areas including (1) understanding assessment and evaluation with young children, (2) schools and assessment implications, (3) teacher evaluation and professional development, (4) social relationships and assessment, (5) content areas in early education assessment, (6) technology and assessment, and (7) conclusion with future research directions in assessment and evaluation in early childhood education. The volume is of interest to researchers, educators, policy makers, university faculty, graduate students, and general readers who are interested in research on assessment and evaluation in early childhood education. The chapters are authored by established scholars in the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book first explains autism, its prevalence, and some conventional intervention techniques, and it then describes how virtual reality technology can support autism intervention and skills training. The approaches and technologies covered include immersive virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. The tasks covered include emotion recognition, affective computing, teaching communication skills, imparting literacy skills, training for imitation skills, and joint attention skills. Most of the chapters assume no prerequisite knowledge of autism or virtual reality, and they are supported throughout with detailed references for further investigation. While the author is an engineer by profession, with specialist knowledge in robotics and computer-based platforms, in this book she adopts a user perspective and cites many real-life examples from her own experience. The book is suitable for students of cognitive science, and researchers and practitioners engaged with designing and offering technological assistance for special needs training.
Download or read book Teaching Conversation to Children with Autism written by Lynn E. McClannahan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripting is a teaching method designed to help children and adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), who are nonverbal or who are verbal but dont initiate conversation, to initiate conversation. The authors draw on years of experience using scripts in their own clinic, and include many case studies that show how scripts have worked. The book defines scripts as an audiotape or written word, phrase, or sentence that enables young people with autism to use speech to start and continue conversations. At first a child is taught to play the recording of a word for an adult, and then get a reaction from the adult. (e.g., if he plays the script juice, the adult will give him a sip of juice or if he plays the script ball, the adult will play ball with him). Later on, the child is taught to play the script and then say the word himself (and get the reward from the adult). As the child becomes better at talking, scripts are lengthened to become phrases --want juice or play ball --- and then sentences. And once the child can read, scripts are written instead of recorded. As the child masters sets of scripts, the adult begins to diminish (fade) the prompts. If the script was recorded, words are gradually deleted from the recording. (e.g., if the script started out saying, Where is mom? they will re-record it so it just says Where is and then Where ---? At this point, the child should fill in the blanks.
