Description

The development of high quality user-friendly video capture and editing equipment at relatively low costs has resulted in wonderful opportunities to incorporate video technology into behavioral interventions for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) (Goldsmith & LeBlanc, 2004). The most common strategy for incorporating video into behavioral intervention is video modeling (VM), which involves having a learner watch a videotape (rather than a live demonstration) of a person correctly performing the target behavior followed by an opportunity to imitate (Delano, 2007). Other video-based behavioral interventions (VBIs) include video-based feedback and video-based discrimination training. In video feedback, a learner and teacher watch video footage of the learner's performance while the teacher provides consequences for appropriate exemplars (e.g., praise or other reinforcers) and for non-exemplars (e.g., corrective feedback and suggestion for alternative behavior) (Thiemann & Goldstein, 2001). In discrimination training, the learner watches video footage that may or may not show their own performance and determines which behavior or category of behavior is exemplified in each scene (e.g., rude or polite, friendly joke or bullying). In the past 20 years, a substantial research literature has amassed to document the beneficial effects of VM for teaching a wide variety of skills to individuals with ASD (Bellini & Akullian, 2007; Delano, 2007). Recently, my students and I coded approximately 40 published studies on VM with individuals with ASD during a 20-year time span (1987-2007) (Dillon, LeBlanc & Geiger, 2009). Over half of those studies targeted social behavior (including social language) (Charlop-Christy, Le & Freeman, 2000; Geiger, LeBlanc, Dillon, & Bates, 2010; Nikopoulos, & Keenan, 2003; Sherer, et al., 2001), with self-help/daily living skills (e.g., Charlop-Christy et al., 2000; Keen, Brannigan, & Cuskelly, 2007) as the second most frequently targeted area.
