Abstract

"The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of video modeling to train parents of children with autism (CWA) to implement responding to joint attention (RJA) procedures. The skills targeted for training were follow a point, follow a head turn and follow a gaze shift. A multiple baseline across participants design was used. Two parent child dyads participated in the study. Parents were trained using video modeling and feedback procedures. Both parents successfully implemented RJA skills and both children showed some acquisition across RJA skills. The implications for using video modeling and feedback as a training package to train parents are discussed."
