Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of video prompting and backward chaining for teaching students with autism to tie a shoelace knot.

Method: Videos featuring an adult and a peer or sibling model were used as part of the video prompting procedures to teach three boys with autism to tie a shoelace knot. A backward chaining procedure involving live modelling and verbal instruction was introduced following the video prompting phases.

Results: Although the video prompting interventions increased the number of steps in the shoelace tying task completed by each of the participants, the backward chaining procedure was more effective, enabling one participant to reach mastery and a second participant to approach mastery.

Conclusion: Practitioners should consider the pre-requisite skills of the participants and the nature of the target behaviour when selecting an intervention to teach daily living skills to individuals with autism.

Objetivo: Evaluar los efectos del uso de un video y encadenamiento hacia atrás para enseñar a estudiantes con autismo a amarrarse los zapatos.

Método: Se utilizaron videos con un adulto y compañeros o hermanos con los pasos para enseñar a tres chicos con autismo a amarrarse los zapatos. El procedimiento de encadenamiento hacia atrás incluyó una demostración en vivo e instrucciones verbales después del video con los pasos.

Resultados: Aunque el video provocó un aumento en el número de pasos completados por cada participante, el procedimiento de encadenamiento hacia atrás fue más efectivo, permitiendo a uno de los participantes alcanzar la perfección y a un segundo participante acercarse a ella.

Conclusión: Los médicos deberían considerar las habilidades de los participantes y la naturaleza del objetivo de conducta en la selección de una intervención para enseñar actividades de la vida diaria a personas con autismo.

Palabras claves: Autismo, actividades de la vida diaria, video, encadenamiento hacia atrás, modelo hermano, modelo de pares
