Quantitative Analysis of the Effects of Video Modeling on Social and Communication Skills for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of video modeling (VM) interventions on the social and communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Twenty-six single-case design studies involving a total of 59 participants were included in this meta-analysis. We measured intervention effects by computing the improvement rate difference (IRD). The overall mean IRD was 0.53, suggesting that VM interventions had a 53% improvement rate from baseline to intervention phrases on enhancing social and communication skills for these children
