This study examined the effects of a video-based intervention combining self-assessment, self-modeling, discrimination training and behavioral rehearsal on parents' interactions with their children during self-care tasks and social play with their siblings. Two families participated in a video intervention designed to alter parents' assistance patterns and provide less directive task-related prompts. The results indicated that the video intervention package increased parents' social prompts, and altered parental assistance during children's tasks. Generalization across non-training tasks, settings, and parents also was observed. Finally, the study showed an increase in children's social behavior and task completion as parents' interactions changed.
