Abstract

Video modeling has been used to teach individuals with developmental disabilities and autism to complete various tasks such as play (Hine & Wolery, 2006), self-help (Shipley-Benamou, Lutzker, Taubman, 2002) leisure (Stromer, Kimball, Kinney, & Taylor, 2006) and academics (Charlop & Milstein, 1989). Research suggests video modeling may be more effective than other methods for teaching a variety of skills (Charlop-Christy, Le, & Freeman, 2000). The purpose of this paper is to compare the use of two common forms of video modeling to teach a play skill routine. Additionally, the author sought to identify pre-requisite skills associated with effective learning from video modeling procedures.
