Popis: Children with autism typically have a limited repertoire of activities they engage in during their free time and are often observed to engage in inappropriate or non-functional play. Previous research has suggested that deficits in leisure skills are not only a factor of the diagnosis, but also influenced by structural constraints such as lack of resources, support, and opportunity. This study used a multiple probe across participants design to assess the effects of video prompting and error correction on the acquisition of a leisure activity and social initiation for three children with autism. Results indicate that video prompting may be effective in increasing appropriate engagement in a leisure activity. However, findings are mixed concerning the use of video prompting to teach a social initiation. This study expands on previous research by systematically selecting a leisure activity to teach and by including a social component.
