Description
In a school setting, students are expected to continually transition, which may cause behavioral problems and prompt dependency to complete transitional routines. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether using video modeling will improve independent functioning skills and decrease prompt dependency of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Use of Video Modeling to Improve Independent Functioning skills and Decrease Prompt Dependency in Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder
In a school setting, students are expected to continually transition, which may cause behavioral problems and prompt dependency to complete transitional routines. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether using video modeling will improve independent functioning skills and decrease prompt dependency of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
Comments
As a result of my research, I hope to find improvement in the independent functioning skills of my students, as well as less dependency on adult prompting through the use of video modeling in a highly structured environment. Video modeling for transitioning has not been tried with this group yet and will make a difference in their daily routine. My hope is that this difference will give this group of students the key to independent transition. If this intervention is successful, I will introduce it to other areas of socio-emotional and independent functioning development. Furthermore, I will share my finding with colleagues to look into the viability of applying it in their classrooms and in other areas of development.
