Abstract

Social initiation skills are considered among the most challenging skills to acquire by children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Generalization of social initiations across settings, people, and materials is another related challenging area. Research indicates that when provided with appropriate interventions, children with ASD may enhance social initiation skills and generalize them across settings, people, and materials. This research study implemented a multiple probe single subject research design across three children with ASD to examine whether a video self-modeling intervention is effective in establishing a mand repertoire and other types of social initiations to peers. Generalization and maintenance effects were measured in addition to the social validity of the video self-modeling intervention. The results of the video self-modeling intervention and discussion of findings are provided. Study limitations and future recommendations are discussed as well.
