Portable and Accessible Video Modeling: Teaching a Series of Novel Skills within School and Community Settings

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of self-operated video models on the skill acquisition of a series of novel tasks taught in community-based settings. In addition, the percent of independent task transitions and the duration at which four secondary students with a moderate intellectual disability transitioned between tasks was also examined. Using a multiple-baseline design across settings, results indicated that all students showed increases in independent task performance and task transitions as well as decreases in transition durations across community settings when learning novel tasks.
