abstract: 'Background: Autistic transition-aged youth and young adults face many
societal barriers to competitive integrated employment (CIE). Existing
evidence-based practices (EBPs) for autistic individuals, such as video
modeling (VM), may be a viable on-the-job training method to enhance
employment experiences and outcomes for this population.
Methods: The purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize VM studies
to teach job skills for autistic individuals. We applied the Council for
Exceptional Children''s (CEC) Standards for Evidence-Based Practices in
Special Education to evaluate the methodological rigor of included
studies using a weighted coding scheme. We further evaluated
methodologically sound studies by calculating an omnibus Tau-U effect
size.
Results: Twenty articles met our inclusion criteria, and 11 of those
studies were classified as methodologically sound according to the CEC''s
criteria. Results indicate that VM is an EBP to improve job skills of
autistic individuals. The overall effect size for methodologically sound
studies was strong (0.91), but most studies occurred in contrived or
school-based employment settings rather than CIE settings in the local
labor market.
Conclusions: Employers, transition professionals, and related service
providers can consider VM a viable method to teach job skills to
autistic employees. However, additional research conducted in CIE
settings is needed to better understand the effects of VM in contexts
where autistic employees earn regular wages.
Lay summary
Why was this study done?
Autistic adolescents and adults often experience barriers obtaining
employment in their local communities. They may also benefit from
on-the-job supports for successful employment. Video modeling is one
intervention technique that has been used to teach a variety of skills
to autistic individuals. Video modeling involves creating short video
clips that show the person how to do specific skills or tasks. We wanted
to learn about how video modeling has been used to teach job skills to
autistic employees.
What was the purpose of this study?
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of research
studies that used video modeling to teach job skills to autistic
employees. Understanding how video modeling interventions can be used in
employment settings may help autistic employees have more positive work
experiences.
What did the researchers do?
The researchers analyzed the video modeling research studies with
autistic participants aged 14 years or older. We evaluated the quality
of each study, type of employment setting, type of job skill, and how
much the job skills improved. We used a criteria established by a
professional organization, the Council for Exceptional Children, to
evaluate the quality of the research studies.
What were the results of the study?
We analyzed 20 research studies and found that video modeling was an
overall effective intervention to teach job skills to autistic
adolescents and adults. However, most of the studies focused on general
job tasks rather than employment-related social skills. In addition,
most of the studies were conducted in employment settings where the
autistic employees did not earn regular wages, such as school settings
or internships. We encourage future researchers to study how video
modeling can be used to promote competitive integrated employment in
community settings.
What do these findings add to what was already known?
Prior research studies have used video modeling to teach skills such as
academic, play, and social skills to autistic children and youth. This
study showed us that video modeling is an effective intervention to
teach job skills to autistic adolescents and adults.
What are the potential weaknesses of the study?
There are disagreements about how to evaluate the quality of research
studies in the field of special education. We used a popular criterion
by the Council for Exceptional Children organization, but our results
may be different from other researchers. We also did not find a large
number of studies, so some of our findings should be considered with
caution.
How will these findings help autistic adults now or in the future?
These findings demonstrate that video modeling is an effective
on-the-job training method for autistic employees. Autistic adults can
use video modeling at work to learn new job skills. Employers, job
coaches, and secondary transition professionals could use brief videos
to support autistic employees.'
