Use of video self-modeling for individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

January 9th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Video modeling has been showed to be an effective intervention in teaching individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Video modeling may be implemented by using different strategies, one of them being video self-modeling. This involves the individual themselves being the model on the video. Now Gelbar, Anderson, McCarthy and Buggey have provided å review that summarizes the empirical evidence supporting the use of video self-modeling with individuals with autism spectrum disorders. This article is published in Psycology in the Schools, Vol 49 (2012).

Based on their review of the available empirical evidence video self-modeling should be considered as part of a continuum of strategies for individuals with ASD. The heterogeneity in the ASD group implies that there are great variation in results, but video self-modeling has been used to increase language and communication, increase social skills, modify behavior, and teach functional skills.
