Teaching Caregivers to Use Graduated Guidance Using Video Modeling

We evaluated the effects of a video modeling training package on the implementation of graduated guidance instruction for three caregivers of young children with autism spectrum disorder. The video model was narrated and featured a generic model of graduated guidance that was different from the tasks used in the study. One of the caregiver–child dyads participated via telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic. During baseline, caregivers performed the teaching procedure with low accuracy. In the last two training sessions, caregivers performed each activity with few or no errors.
