Abstract

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video modeling in increasing social interactions with individuals with ASD (IwASD) in transitional or postsecondary educational settings. The study inclusion criteria included (a) quantitative data must be present, (b) an objective or research question must be stated, (c) video modeling must be an intervention in their study, (d) a minimum of one target behavior must focus on social interactions, and (e) all studies must be published within the last six years. This systematic review analyzed the purpose, sample, methodology, settings, discussion, and results to find the effectiveness of the intervention, resulting in 12 out of 14 studies showing an effective and positive outcome. Furthermore, this review found that video modeling, along with an unspecified intervention, was associated with the desired intervention effect. However, the review could not reach a definitive conclusion about effectiveness in the absence of video modeling as an isolated intervention.
