Abstract
Youth with autism often require additional instruction in common vocational social skills to improve their employment outcomes. This study examined the effects of an assessment-based intervention involving video modeling plus feedback to teach common workplace social skills in a simulated work environment. Three transition-aged youth with autism participated in the study. We found the intervention to be highly effective at teaching the initial acquisition of skills; however, we observed mixed results regarding generalization of skills to new supervisors and to a community work setting.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Behavioral Education is an international forum dedicated to publishing original research papers on the application of behavioral principles and technology to education. Education is defined broadly and the journal places no restriction on the types of participants involved in the reported studies--including by age, ability, or setting. Each quarterly issue presents empirical research investigating best-practices and innovative methods to address a wide range of educational targets and issues pertaining to the needs of diverse learners and to implementation. The Journal of Behavioral Education is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal whose target audience is educational researchers and practitioners including general and special education teachers, school psychologists, and other school personnel. Rigorous experimental designs, including single-subject with replication and group designs are considered for publication. An emphasis is placed on direct observation measures of the primary dependent variable in studies of educational issues, problems, and practices. Discussion articles and critical reviews also are published.
