The Use of Video Modeling to Teach Daily Living Skills and Promote Independence in Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Literature Review
By Veronica Zeppa Pacheco
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have challenges learning daily living skills (DLS). This difficulty can cause a lack of autonomy and reduce their opportunities to be active members of their communities. Teachers play a crucial role in students’ development skills, and based on their observations, they can determine children’s abilities to perform basic daily activities. Educators can collaboratively work with parents to expose children to effective methods that enable them to acquire essential skills to increase their independence and quality of life. One way that educators can teach kids with disabilities DLS is through video modeling (VM). VM is an evidence-based practice used to teach skills to individuals with disabilities. This paper will examine the effectiveness of VM in teaching DLS and promoting independence in students with ASD while reviewing seven research articles obtained from Google Scholar.
