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.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study is to evaluate the efficacy of video modeling with adults with Developmental Disabilities to teach them appropriate social skills. In this study we examined the use of commercial video models and commercial video recipient and custom video recipients to teach two different social skills to adults. Observations will be conducted before and after participants watch a video model of the skills they performed. All participants were exposed to a customized video as well as a commercial video which resulted in at least some acquisition of the skill for the adults. However, one of the participants learned the social skill at a faster rate when the commercial video was used.

Download or read book Using Multiple Exemplar Video Modeling to Teach Work related Social Skills to Young Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities written by Meaghan M. M. Olger and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) have lower rates of employment compared to individuals without disabilities. These lower rates of employment are often attributed to poor work-related social skills, as the ability to interact socially in the workplace is essential in obtaining and keeping a job. This study used a multiple probe across behaviors design to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple exemplar training (MET) video modeling with video fading to teach social skills in the workplace to three individuals with an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder. All three participants demonstrated acquisition of work-related social skills through MET video modeling and successfully generalized those skills to their workplace environment; providing evidence that MET video modeling can be used to teach young adults with IDD work-related social skills. Future research should continue to evaluate the most effective methods for teaching work-related social skills, especially as they pertain to generalization and maintenance.

Download or read book Young Adults with Disabilities Acquire Vocational Skills with Video Modeling written by Carly Schroeder-MacKay and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with disabilities often require substantial support to acquire the skills needed to secure work experience and paid employment. Special education transition programs have an obligation to utilize evidence-based practices to facilitate the acquisition of such skills. In the present project, three studies were conducted to examine the effects of video modeling on the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of job-related tasks taught in a classroom setting to young adults with developmental disabilities. In Study 1, a multiple baseline across behaviors experimental design with four participants was used to assess the effects of video prompts on the percentage of correctly completed steps in doing laundry, checking in to work, and stripping a bed. Study 2 essentially replicated Study 1, except that a multiple baseline across subjects experimental design with four other participants was used in Study 2. As in Study 1, all students acquired the skills using the video prompting intervention. Follow-up data demonstrated that the skills maintained over three months and generalization probes indicated that the participants performed the tasks accurately in a new setting with different materials. Study 3 arranged a multiple baseline across subjects experimental design across subjects with an alternating treatments component to evaluate and to compare in three additional participants the effects of video prompting and full video modeling on the acquisition of a job-related task, rolling silverware. In full video modeling, participants viewed a model completing all steps in a task, whereas in video prompting participants viewed a separate video for each step in the task. All participants mastered the task, with good generalization and maintenance. There was some indication that video prompting was more effective than full video modeling. The results of these studies strongly suggest that video modeling is an effective intervention for promoting the acquisition, maintenance, and generalization of job-related tasks. Furthermore, the results of study three suggest that video prompting may be more useful than full video modeling, although further research is needed to confirm this difference. Participants were generally satisfied with the intervention and it was relatively easy to use, which are important points in its favor.

Download or read book Using Self directed Video Prompting to Teach Vocational Skills to Transition Age Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Intellectual Disabilities written by Irene Trinette Jones and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment is an influential factor in the quality of life for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (Lewis, 2011), but securing and maintaining gainful employment is difficult. According to the U. S. Department of Labor (2013), the rate of employment for individuals with a disability was 30% while the rate of employment for those without a disability was 76%. According to the American Community Survey (2011), the percentage of working-age people with an intellectual disability working full-time/full year was only 11% (Erickson, Lee, & von Schrader, 2012). Kaye and colleagues (2011) found that employers are reluctant to hire and retain workers with disabilities due in part to the cost of accommodations, need for supervision, the lack of skills, and the ability to perform a quality job. The importance of improving the vocational skills of students with disabilities has been highlighted in the provision of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) which stipulates the use of scientifically-based practices to address skill deficits during transition planning. A step toward achieving these transition goals has come from the use of visually-based technology. Existing research suggests individuals with disabilities can benefit from vocational training delivered via affordable assistive technology (Furrnis et al., 2001). Commercially available handheld touch screen technology has the potential to reduce employers’ cost of providing accommodations by equipping workers with tools designed to teach them vocational skills, thereby enabling them to produce and maintain high quality performance with minimal need for direct supervision. This research examined the use of self-directed video prompting (SDVP) strategies to increase the acquisition of vocational skills for transition-age individuals with autism and mild intellectual disabilities through the use of a multiple probe across tasks design replicated across four participants. The results indicate all four participants acquired and maintained novel vocational skills, independently operated a handheld device from beginning-to-end, and transferred prompt dependence from the trainer to a handheld device. Results further showed that all participants assessed 10-weeks after the cessation of the intervention phase successfully generalize newly acquired skills to untrained settings and materials at 100% accuracy.

Download or read book Teaching Conversation Skills to Adults with Developmental Disabilities Using a Video based Intervention Package written by Kaitlyn Rayne Osborne and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social skills deficits may hinder learning, terminate relationships, and impede employment. Individuals with autism and intellectual disability are often characterized with difficulties in social judgement, emotions, and interpersonal relationships, all of which can lead to disruptive and aggressive behaviors. Explicit instruction, video modeling, and video feedback are research-based practices that have been used to teach conversation skills to individuals, particularly children with developmental disabilities and social impairments. This study examined the effects of explicit instruction combined with video modeling and video feedback in teaching six adults ages 18-20 with autism and intellectual disability skills for initiating a conversation. A multiple baseline across dyads design was used to teach these skills in a post-high school transition program. The dependent variable was the number of correct conversation initiation responses. The independent variable was an intervention package that included explicit verbal instruction with interspersed video modeling clips, followed by video feedback. All six participants acquired the skills and were able to initiate a conversation, and five participants maintained these skills over time, demonstrating them without the intervention. Implications for practitioners are described as well as suggestions for future research.

Download or read book Teaching Classroom Transitions to Students with Developmental Disabilities Through Video Self modeling and Picture Prompt written by Kristina Spasovski and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Having the skill to transition independently is particularly important within the classroom. Transitions completed in a timely manner allow children to spend more of their time engaging in learning opportunities, as opposed to transitioning between them. This study aimed to teach children with developmental disabilities to transition independently, to and within the classroom. Two participants, aged six and eight, took part in the study. Transitions were taught using video self-modeling and picture prompts within an alternating treatment design. Additionally, the study aimed to compare the efficacy of the two methods. Once independent transitions were evident, the study aimed to investigate if they maintain when visual aids were removed. Results showed that for the participants in this study, video self-modeling was most effective at teaching independent transitions. Furthermore, independent transitions maintained once the video model was removed. The study concluded that participants learned to transition independently and transitions were most effectively taught using video self-modeling. This study added to the existing literature on transitions, as well as to the literature comparing video self-modeling to picture prompts.

Download or read book The Effects of Video Self modeling on the Compliance Rates of High School Students with Developmental Disabilities written by Jacob Ammon Aukai Figueira and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with developmental disabilities must develop the ability to maintain socially acceptable behavior in order to become contributing, accepted members of society at large. Research indicates that compliance, or following directions, is a keystone behavior, which, if learned, may significantly decrease the occurrence of behavior difficulties in students. Many studies of individuals with disabilities have shown a dramatic increase across a wide range of academic and social skills using video self-modeling (VSM), a technique in which students watch edited videos of themselves performing skills correctly or at high rates. Despite the importance of compliance for individuals with disabilities and the success of video self-modeling, little research has been done regarding the effect of VSM on compliance. In addition, VSM has been used mainly with elementary school-age students. This multiple baseline study examined the effect of video self-modeling on the rates of compliance in three high school-age students with developmental disabilities. Participants[alpha] compliancy rates increased after implementing video self-modeling. Mean latency to compliance also decreased for all participants. Study results indicate that video self-modeling may be an effective method for increasing compliance and decreasing compliance latency in high school students with developmental disabilities.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study compared the relative efficiency and effectiveness of video prompting with video modeling on participants’ independent functioning for both daily living and vocational tasks. The relative effectiveness of video prompting and video modeling was evaluated using an adapted alternating treatment design. Four participants accessed videos via YouTube using a cell phone and tablet on Android Platforms. Results suggested that Video prompting was slightly more efficient than video modeling; however, levels were very similar across procedures. Three of the four participants performed better during the video prompting condition in which each step was presented individually as opposed to the video modeling condition in which the video played as a whole. Participants also demonstrated improvements in their performance during maintenance, although not to the degree displayed during the intervention. Participants indicated that the intervention was enjoyable and suitable for learning in different environments

Download or read book Evidence Based Practices and Treatments for Children with Autism written by Brian Reichow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-25 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have been increasingly diagnosed in recent years and carries with it far reaching social and financial implications. With this in mind, educators, physicians, and parents are searching for the best practices and most effective treatments. But because the symptoms of ASDs span multiple domains (e.g., communication and language, social, behavioral), successfully meeting the needs of a child with autism can be quite challenging. Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments for Children with Autism offers an insightful and balanced perspective on topics ranging from the historical underpinnings of autism treatment to the use of psychopharmacology and the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs). An evaluation methodology is also offered to reduce the risks and inconsistencies associated with the varying definitions of key autism terminology. This commitment to clearly addressing the complex issues associated with ASDs continues throughout the volume and provides opportunities for further research. Additional issues addressed include: Behavioral excesses and deficits treatment Communication treatment Social awareness and social skills treatment Dietary, complementary, and alternative treatments Implementation of EBPs in school settings Interventions for sensory dysfunction With its holistic and accessible approach, Evidence-Based Practices and Treatments for Children with Autism is a vital resource for school psychologists and special education professionals as well as allied mental health professionals, including clinical child and developmental psychologists, psychiatrist, pediatricians, primary care and community providers.

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.
