E-Book Overview
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a successful educational method for developing social and communication skills in children with autism. The use of video modelling in ABA programmes has demonstrated great effectiveness in teaching behavioural skills to autistic children, and this book explains how and why. Video modelling is an easy-to-use behaviour modification technique that uses videotaped rather than 'live' scenarios for the child to observe, concentrating the focus of attention for the child with autism and creating a highly effective stimulus for learning. "Video Modelling and Behaviour Analysis" provides a practical introduction to the technique, its objectives, strategies for use, and evidence of its success. Illustrative case examples are supported by detailed diagrams and photographs, with clear, accessible explanations. "Video Modelling and Behaviour Analysis" will be a welcome addition to the practical literature on autism interventions for parents of autistic children and the professionals working with them.
