Abstract

Primarily this study investigated the use of Video Self Modelling (VSM) as a behaviour intervention strategy to reduce the occurrence of aggressive behaviours in three adolescents with High Functioning Autism (HFA) within a school environment. A single-subject non-concurrent multiple baseline design was employed in the form of a baseline-intervention-withdrawal (A-B-C) across three participants. The intervention engaged each participant with a personalised iPad-presented movie allowing them to observe self-modelled, positive behaviour choices across situations where aggression had previously been the response. Findings yielded positive outcomes for all participants indicating that VSM is an effective strategy for reducing aggressive behaviours in adolescents. This small-scale study builds on the existing research into VSM and contributes to the limited number of studies currently available for behaviour intervention with adolescents with high functioning autism.
