This book was released on 2019 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video-based interventions have been used as a method to increase independence for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. This study researched the effect of using a video-based intervention (i.e., video-prompting) to teach individuals with ASD to serve themselves a snack. As a secondary measure, a Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) questionnaire was administered to the participant's parents. The parents were asked to complete the PedsQL for themselves as well as their child. Results determined that video-prompting was successful as all three individuals learned the skill. All participants perceived quality of life increased as reported by their parents and the parents perceived quality of life increased as well. A functional relation was observed between the intervention and serving oneself a snack.

Download or read book Using Self directed Video Prompting to Teach Daily Living Skills to Individuals with Severe Autism written by Ashley L. Cary and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals with severe autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability face poor outcomes in the area of self-determination and independence due to deficits in the areas of daily living skills. Utilizing video prompting is a way of teaching daily living skills and providing independence, and teaching students to self-direct their video prompts is a way to reduce instruction provided by a teacher or job coach. Three participants with severe autism and intellectual disability were taught three daily living skills using self-directed video prompting on an iPod Touch. Students were taught to load a dishwasher with instructor-delivered video prompts. After reaching mastery, they were taught using modeling followed by decreasing prompts to use the iPod Touch to watch prompts to Swiffer mop the kitchen floor. When they were at mastery on the second phase, they were allowed to self-direct their own video prompts to teach themselves to wipe the bathroom mirror. Results of the study demonstrate that all four students acquired the skills using video prompting. All three participants became more independent using the iPod Touch by the third phase, but weren’t completely independent self-directing their video prompts.

Download or read book Self help Skills for People with Autism written by Stephen R. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning self-help skills -- eating, dressing, toileting, and personal hygiene -- can be challenging for people with autism, but is essential for independence. This book thoroughly describes a systematic approach that parents (and educators) can use to teach basic self-care to children, ages 24 months to early teens, and even older individuals. With an encouraging tone, the authors -- behaviour analysts and psycholo-gists -- emphasise that it's worthwhile to devote the extra time and effort now to teach skills rather than have your child be forever dependent on others. The many case studies throughout the book depict individuals with deficits in specific self-care tasks, and demonstrate how a coordinated and system-atic approach is effective in teaching more complex skills. For example, a 12-year-old with the self-feeding skills of a toddler, who was excluded from the school cafeteria, is taught to stay at the table to eat a full meal using utensils. A chapter is devoted to each of the four skill areas (eating, dressing, toileting, personal hygiene) offering detailed insight and specific instruction strategies. Ap-pendices contain forms to complete for task analyses, instructional plans, and data collection. With the information in this book, parents can immediately start teaching their child, or refer back to the book to fine-tune skills as their child develops.

Download or read book Seeing is Believing written by Tom Buggey and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Video self-modeling (VSM) is a proven and effective method for teaching new or more advanced skills and behaviors to people with autism. The technique uses homemade videos (created by parents, teachers, or therapists) to demonstrate a desired behavior. The key feature of any self-modeling video is that the person modeling the behavior in the video is the same person watching the video. VSM allows a person with autism to see himself performing the very skill he is trying to learn. This is accomplished through careful editing and manipulation of video footage, transforming it into a cohesive teaching tool. And the process is a lot easier than you may think! Seeing Is Believing begins with an overview of the research and science behind VSM and insights into why it is a particularly good teaching method for people with autism and other developmental disabilities. It then explains the process of making self-modeling videos from start to finish, including how to: choose the behavior/skill to teach conduct a task analysis select and use camcorders and video software storyboard video scenes plan and shoot footage transfer the video to a VCR, DVD, or computer edit and manipulate the footage keep track of and interpret data These videos can teach or modify a wide variety of behaviors and skills, such as controlling tantrums, increasing the frequency and length of verbal responses, making requests, interacting with peers, and solving math problems. Seeing Is Believing is a good companion book to Functional Behavior Assessment for People with Autism and Stop That Seemingly Senseless Behavior! For further information on VSM, go to siskinvsm.org. Here youwill find a blog that provides additional advice and consultation via email on VSM methods, sample videos, FAQs, and a discussion forum with professionals in the field. siskinvsm.org will become operational in March 2009.
