Use of Continuous Video Prompting to Teach a Student With a Significant Disability

Abstract Video prompting has been demonstrated to be a successful procedure for teaching students with various disabilities to complete a variety of tasks. Traditionally, a video clip is only shown once before the student has an opportunity to engage in the step. Recent research has demonstrated that continuously showing the video in a loop can be an effective approach to video-based instruction. In the current study, we used a multiple probe across tasks design to evaluate the effects of continuous video prompting to teach a student with significant disabilities to complete three vocational tasks. Results demonstrated that continuous video prompting paired with error correction and additional training procedures was effective, although fading of the video prompts was not achieved. Areas for future research are addressed.
