Abstract
Abstract The high number of Autism Spectrum Disorder’s (ASD) cases determines a great need for specialized service for this population. This is particularly critical, considering the intensity required according to the specialized literature. Parental training may be an affordable alternative to provide this intervention with a high integrity and less costs, and tools such as videomodeling may facilitate the efficiency of such training procedures. This work aimed to evaluate, with strict experimental control, the efficiency of instructional videomodeling while training parents of children with ASD to implement Discrete Trial Instruction. Three mother-child dyads participated: Beatriz (27 years) and Luan (3 years); Eliana (30 years old) and Igor (2 years old); Vanessa (40 years old) and Daniel (4 years old). The results showed an increase in the performance accuracy of all mothers in the application of discrete trials, with an average duration of 4 hours. It is possible that this type of instructional tool has an effect on motivation and broadly promotes access to training contingencies, unlike the limitations of face-to-face training. However, it is important to emphasize that this tool only reaches its full function if it is inserted within a broader training program.
Highlights
Utilizando Videomodelação Instrucional para Ensinar Mães de Crianças Diagnosticadas com Autismo a Implementar Tentativas Discretas: Uma Replicação Sistemática
All of the children were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by professionals in the Brazilian public healthcare system
Performance accuracy increased after instructional video modeling and before any feedback was given, encouraging the use of such a procedure to teach parents of children who are diagnosed with ASD how to implement discrete-trial procedures and showing that little additional support or feedback is needed to achieve training goals
Summary
Utilizando Videomodelação Instrucional para Ensinar Mães de Crianças Diagnosticadas com Autismo a Implementar Tentativas Discretas: Uma Replicação Sistemática. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar, através de rigoroso controle experimental, a eficiência da videomodelação instrucional no treinamento parental para implementar ensino por tentativas discretas. Videomodelado Instruccional para Enseñar a Madres de Niños Diagnosticados con TEA la Implementación de Ensayos Discretos: Una Replicación Sistemática. Entrenamiento de genitores puede ser una alternativa económica para proporcionar este tipo de intervención con alta integridad y a un menor costo, y procedimientos tales como videomodelado instruccional pueden facilitar sua eficiencia. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar, a través de un riguroso control experimental, la eficiencia del videomodelado instruccional en genitores de niños diagnosticados con TEA para la implementacion de aprendizaje por ensayos discretos. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the scientific basis for treatments that are the most effective (National Autism Center, 2009)
