Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, v8 n4 p307-318 2015
This pilot study investigated the efficacy of point-of-view video modeling as an intervention strategy to improve self-help skills in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A single-subject A-B design was implemented with eight school-aged children ages 7.5 years to 13.5 years. Six of the students participated in general education classes with varying levels of support, and two were in a special education classroom. All were able to follow basic directions and answer simple questions verbally. Results suggest that point-of-view video modeling using an iPad may be an effective technique for teaching students with ASD self-care and daily living skills, with students showing an average of 50.5% improvement in task performance during a 6-week study period.
