The purpose of this study was to investigate if autistic children's sitting and waiting for a turn could be improved through video self-modeling intervention, which is known to be effective as a behavioral intervention for autistic children.
The specific research goals were as follows;
First, it sets out to investigate the effects of video self-modeling intervention on autistic children's sitting during class.
And secondly, it sets out to investigate the effects of video self-modeling intervention on autistic children's waiting for a turn.
The experiment was conducted through the baseline, intervention, and maintenance stage. An environment was designed in a way that autistic children would watch a video self-modeling intervention program and then perform a behavioral function like the video situation they watched. For data gathering, each session was videotaped for the incidence rates of behavior and observation. Based on the 5-point scale for sitting and the checklist for waiting for a turn, the investigator obtained raw scores, translated them into percentage(%), put them in a table, and presented them in a graph of changes to the behavioral functions after visual analysis.
As a result, the autistic children's sitting and waiting for a turn improved through video self-modeling intervention.
The results of this study were as follows;
First, video self-modeling intervention is effective in improving autistic children's sitting.
secondly, video self-modeling intervention is effective in improving autistic children's waiting for a turn.
In future, there should be follow-up study to investigate improvements in behavioral functions through video self-modeling intervention in specific and systematic ways by expanding the diversity and number of autistic children.
