Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder which includes symptoms such as repetitive or restricted patterns of behavior, and deficits in social communication (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) and affects approximately 1 in 36 children aged 8 and older (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020). Children with this disorder face unique challenges when it come to learning academic and social skills (Gardner & Wolfe, 2013). Chaining is an effective intervention for teaching individuals with disabilities a variety of skills (Cuvo et al., 1978; Horner & Keilitz, 1975; Shrestha et al., 2013; Tarbox, et al., 2009). Video modeling, where a subject performs a behavior they have previously seen modeled on a videotape (Nikopoulos & Keenan, 2004 and more recently point-of-view video modeling (POV-VM) which provides the instruction from the subject's vantage point may also be effective for teaching children with autism and other disabilities needed skills (Shukla-Mehta et al., 2010). There is some empirical evidence that chaining used in conjunction with POV-VM may provide effective intervention (Jewett, et al., 2012; Moore, et al., 2013; Shrestha, et al., 2013) yet no studies have directly compared a chaining procedure taught by traditional methods to a chaining procedure which is exclusively taught through the use of POV-VM.
