ABSTRACT

Objective : This study aims to investigate the effects of video self-observation on behavioral problems in children with an autism spectrum disorder. Methods : An ABA single-subject design was used with three element school students with autism spectrum disorders. A total of 12 sessions including the baseline period were conducted during 7 weeks. The subjects watched a 10 minute video for self-modeling before undergoing a sensory integration session. The target behaviors were defined and tallied in each session. The Conners’Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS) was used to assess their behavioral problems before and after the intervention period (B). Results : All subjects demonstrated a decrease in behavioral problems. Subject 1 showed a decrease from 63.3% to 22.8%; subject 2, from 76.6% to 44.5%; and subject 3, from 43.7% to 31.1% in terms of the average frequency of the target behaviors. In a visual analysis, the number of target behaviors decreased below 2 standard deviations of the baseline data. The CTRS score also decreased in all subjects. Conclusion : Video self-observation decreased the behavioral problems in children with autism spectrum disorders. By reducing their behavioral problems, this approach can make children focus on productive activities at school, clinics, and their home.
