Antecedent Control: Modeling, Physical Guidance, and Situational Inducement

Video modeling, which involves showing video-recorded displays of a typically developing child or children emitting target responses, is an effective strategy for teaching a child with autism to emit those target responses (Ganz, Earles-Vollrath, & Cook, 2011). Examples of target responses taught using video modeling include social and vocational skills (Rayner, Denholm, & Sigafoos, 2009), play behaviors (MacDonald et al., 2009), and language skills (Plavnick & Ferreri, 2011).
