Book Description
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of video modeling in teaching social skills to preschool students with disabilities. Eleven early childhood special education and four-year-old kindergarten (4K) students were shown videos of models of individualized social skills. Together with parents, the individualized skill was chosen for the child to work on during the study. Every child had their own social skill that they were working on and were encouraged to exhibit the skill immediately after they watched the video. The researcher collected baseline data on how often the child exhibited that social skill in the school setting and a parent interview was conducted to see how often the child was performing the skill at home. Teacher observations in a journal were collected throughout the process. Parents were interviewed again at the end of the study. All of the students made gains in their targeted skill during the intervention phase of the study, but not every student generalized these behaviors outisde the context of the study in the classroom setting.
