Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is a successful educational method for developing social and communication skills in children with autism. The use of video modelling in ABA programmes has demonstrated great effectiveness in teaching behavioural skills to autistic children, and this book explains how and why. Video modelling is an easy-to-use behaviour modification technique that uses videotaped rather than 'live' scenarios for the child to observe, concentrating the focus of attention for the child with autism and creating a highly effective stimulus for learning. "Video Modelling and Behaviour Analysis" provides a practical introduction to the technique, its objectives, strategies for use, and evidence of its success. Illustrative case examples are supported by detailed diagrams and photographs, with clear, accessible explanations. "Video Modelling and Behaviour Analysis" will be a welcome addition to the practical literature on autism interventions for parents of autistic children and the professionals working with them.

Not worth the price,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Video Modelling and Behaviour Analysis: A Guide for Teaching Social Skills to Children with Autism (Paperback)
I bought this book because I am planning to set up a social skill program for youth on the autism spectrum using video modeling. The title implies that this book would be a good resource for doing that. Instead, it is a detailed research report. It is similar to reading a number of articles of research studies. I can get those for free on-line. I was assuming that this would help me set up my program and it provided very little help. It is definitely not worth the high price - not if you are looking for help for setting up your own ABA/video modeling program. I am a licensed clinical social worker and work with youth on the autism spectrum.
