To explore and describe the potential found when using video modeling interactive technology, specifically to enhance the development of expressive and receptive social language of children on the autism spectrum, when interacting with peers and adults in a school setting.
This multi-site project proposed to explore the potential use of
interactive computer technology and video modeling to enhance the social/pragmatic language abilities in children identified with autism. The study specifically focused upon identifying the effects of incorporating
available interactive video modeling programs as a supplemental instructional methodology by speech pathologists who work with autistic children in grades one through five, compared to a control group of autistic students receiving traditional instructional methods only.
The use of interactive video modeling and computer technology to present real social situations, acknowledges appropriate social and emotional cues, and establishes a real setting in which each child must learn to adjust in an interactive framework whereby the autistic child becomes an active participant.
The technology utilizes everyday occurrences in the public school setting to present the autistic child with visual and auditory opportunities to practice appropriate pragmatic social skills in a non-threatening environment.
Learning Objectives:
- Learners will understand the potential of video modeling interactive technology how it can enhance the learning of children with autism
- The learner will understand the research used in the study performed
- The Learner will understand the broad range of technology that is available to supplement the teaching of social behavior and language skills
