The object of this study is to examine the effect of the system of least prompt using Video Modeling on daily living skills of children with Autism. The subjects were 5 elementary school lower grade students(1st to 3rd), who needed to learn daily living skills, which were brushing teeth, washing hands and face, putting on upper garments and pants. According to the study object, daily living behavioral characteristics, video modeling teaching, the system of least prompt, and the system of least prompt using Video Modeling, and the preceding studies were examined.
In the system of least prompt using Video Modeling, the children watched a video learning material in which about the same age kids are appearing, and worked on tasks through the system of least prompt. For self-reliant task working of the children, a certain checklist and task working rate of the daily living skills were used.
As for the study method, the before-and-after test was used, their tasks working related to daily living skills was recorded on a video tape each session for all 42 sessions, and the researcher and the observer recorded the results on the checklist.
The test results analyzed with a graph according to each child are as follows:
First, the system of least prompt using Video Modeling was turned out to be effective in autistic Children's learning tooth brushing. At the early stage of the pre-and-post test, all the children showed 0% of task working rate, but after the treatment, A showed progress from 0% to 55%, B 0% to 80%, C 0% to 48%, D to 60%, and E 0% to 51%, which was remarkable improvement.
Second, as for the test examining the effect of the system of least prompt using Video Modeling on the children's skills of washing hands and face, the task working rate of A was improved from 12% to 42, B 14% to 61%, C 21% to 59%, D 18% to 60%, and E 20% to 57%.
Third, as for the test examining the effect of the system of least prompt using Video Modeling on the children's skills of putting on upper garments and pants, the task working rate of A was improved from 0% to 62%, B 0% to 51%, C 8 to 41%, D 0% to 52%, and E 8 to 62%, which was outstanding improvement.
Based on the study results above and discussions on them, the following conclusions were drawn:
First, the system of least prompt using Video Modeling is effective in autistic Children's learning tooth brushing.
Second, the system of least prompt using Video Modeling is effective in autistic Children's learning washing hands and face.
Third, the system of least prompt using Video Modeling is effective in autistic Children's learning upper garments and pants.
