Technology allows a wide variety of skills to be taught by video. Teaching by video has further evolved to include modeling by others as well as 'self' modeling. While both techniques have been used, debat

Recently an interest in the use of video modeling with autistic individuals has emerged. These individuals typically exhibit severe attentional, social, affective, language, and motivational problems. This makes autistic individuals a challenging group to instruct.

Videos were shown to the test group three times before going to sleep in the evening. 'Self' and 'other' tapes were shown on alternate days. A therapist visited the home following a viewing day and asked the questions appropriate for the video viewed the previous evening. The process continued until the participant reached a correct response level of 100% or failed to show an increase in response over several weeks.

Videos were produced showing both the test group and the 'other' model group responding corre
