ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to examine how video modeling combined with self-monitoring intervention affects the physical play skills of a young child with autism spectrum disorder attending an inclusive daycare center. The subject of this study was a 4 year old child with autism spectrum disorder, and multiple baseline design across behaviors was utilized to analyze the intervention’s efficacy, maintenance, and generalization. The results of the study demonstrated that the physical play skill performance, which averaged 18.7% during the baseline, Rapid improved to an average of 91.7% after the introduction of the intervention. These improvements were stably maintained even after the intervention ended. In particular, the acquired skills were successfully generalized to an external kids' cafe environment. The results of this study demonstrated that video modeling in clip format combined with self-monitoring was an effective intervention for a young child with autism spectrum disorder.
