Vocabulary Acquisition and Verbal Communication in Children with Autism: The Effects of a Video Modeling Intervention
Keywords:
Video modeling intervention, vocabulary acquisition, verbal communication autismAbstract
This study explores whether or not Video modeling intervention has positive effects on vocabulary acquisition and verbal communication of children with autism. Participants were ten children between the ages of five and seven who attended a school for children with developmental disabilities (Tarbya Fekrya). A pre- post design was used to examine the effectiveness of the Video modeling intervention Strategy on vocabulary acquisition and verbal communication of the target children. Findings from this study indicated the effectiveness of the Video modeling intervention employed in teaching the target children vocabulary acquisition and verbal communication. On the basis of the findings, the study advocated for the effectiveness of the Video modeling intervention employed in teaching the target children vocabulary acquisition and verbal communication.Downloads
