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.'
