Abstract
Since September, Suzan, a special educator, had been working on communication and socialization skills with
John, one of her students who was
diagnosed with autism. Suzan recognized that John had made little progress
over the first 3 months of school participating in interventions such as peer
modeling and verbal explanations of
effective communication and socialization skills. She decided to seek suggestions from her colleagues about possible
other evidence-based interventions that
might be more effective for students
with autism. Luckily, Suzan found one
colleague who had recently attended a
workshop on video modeling. Her colleague shared with her that the intervention was evidence-based and effective for teaching various skills to students with autism. Suzan was grateful
for the information and was especially
excited about its potential because John
particularly enjoys watching television
and videos.
