Twins with Autism: Utilising Video Feedback to Improve Job-Related Behaviours
Mackey, Megan; Nelson, Gretchen
British Journal of Special Education, v42 n4 p390-410 Dec 2015
Employment for individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a significant factor in assuring quality of life in adulthood. The research reported in this article examines the effectiveness of video feedback (VFB) in improving the job-related behaviours of twin adolescents with ASD and learning disabilities. The targeted behaviours included active engagement, decision-making, responding to others, hygiene, and transition making. A within-participant multiple-probe design across targeted job behaviours, replicated across two participants, was used. The experimental phases of the design consisted of (A) baseline, (B) VFB + job coach evaluation, (C) VFB + concurrent job coach and self-evaluation, and (A) maintenance. Using a modified Behavioral Observation of Students in Schools (BOSS) form broken into one-minute intervals, job coaches evaluated participants on job-related behaviours. Data gathered shows that VFB significantly impacted active engagement, responding to others, hygiene and transitioning. Decision-making was least impacted by the interventions. The use of VFB is one way that job-related behaviours of adolescents with ASD and other disabilities can be positively influenced.
