Video modeling proves to be a highly effective tool in teaching about ocations to children with autism. Through visual representation, video modeling provides a concrete and structured way to showcase appropriate social behaviors in various community settings. Children with autism often benefit from the visual clarity and predictability offered by videos, making it easier for them to understand and imitate social cues. Video modeling allows for repetition, enabling reinforcement of desired behaviors. It can also be customized to the child’s pace and individual learning style. Additionally, video modeling provides a safe and controlled environment for practicing social skills, reducing anxiety associated with real-world interactions. This approach enhances generalization of skills, promoting increased independence and social competence in diverse contexts. Overall, video modeling emerges as a valuable and inclusive tool in the comprehensive strategy to support children with autism in acquiring essential community social skills.
