PROMOTING WORKPLACE INDEPENDENCE IN INDIVIDUALS WITH AUTISM USING VIDEO MODELING

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of video modeling for teaching office-cleaning skills to individuals with autism. The targeted skills included (a) preparing the office for cleaning, (b) dusting and wiping office materials, and (c) mopping the office floor. A multiple-baseline design across participants was used to evaluate changes in independent task performance across baseline, intervention, and follow-up phases. Instruction was delivered via systematically developed video models demonstrating each step of the cleaning routines. Performance data were collected using task analyses and were analyzed by visual inspection and effect-size calculations. In addition, acquisition of non-targeted information related to the target skills was assessed. The findings showed that video modeling led to marked improvements in participants’ independent, accurate completion of office cleaning tasks. Furthermore, the acquired skills were maintained over time and generalized across different office settings and materials. Social validity data indicated positive perceptions among both participants and their parents. Overall, the results support video modeling as an effective, evidence based instructional practice for enhancing workplace independence and functional daily living skills among individuals with autism.

OTİZMLİ BİREYLERİN İŞ YERİNDEKİ BAĞIMSIZLIKLARININ DESTEKLENMESİNDE VİDEO MODELİN ETKİLİLİĞİ

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, otizmli bireylere ofis temizleme becerilerinin öğretiminde video model uygulamasının etkililiği incelenmiştir. Araştırmada hedeflenen beceriler; (a) ofisi temizliğe hazırlama, (b) ofis materyallerinin tozunu alma ve silme ile (c) ofis zeminini paspaslama becerilerinden oluşmuştur. Araştırmada, katılımcıların bağımsız performanslarında başlama düzeyi, öğretim ve izleme evreleri boyunca meydana gelen değişimleri değerlendirmek amacıyla katılımcılar arası yoklama denemeli çoklu yoklama modeli kullanılmıştır. Öğretim, temizlik rutinlerindeki her bir basamağı gösteren sistematik olarak hazırlanmış video modeller aracılığıyla sunulmuştur. Veriler beceri analizleri kullanılarak toplanmış ve görsel analiz ile etki büyüklüğü hesaplamaları yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, hedef becerilerle ilişkili hedeflenmeyen bilgilerin edinimi de incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, video model uygulamasının katılımcıların ofis temizleme becerilerini bağımsız ve doğru bir şekilde gerçekleştirmelerinde önemli düzeyde artış sağladığını göstermiştir. Katılımcıların kazandıkları becerileri zaman içerisinde sürdürdükleri ve farklı ofis ortamları ile materyallere genelleyebildikleri belirlenmiştir. Sosyal geçerlik bulguları, hem katılımcıların hem de ebeveynlerinin uygulamaya ilişkin olumlu görüşlere sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, video model uygulamasının otizmli bireylerin iş yaşamındaki bağımsızlıklarını ve işlevsel günlük yaşam becerilerini desteklemede etkili ve bilimsel dayanaklı bir öğretim uygulaması olduğunu göstermektedir.
