Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of instruction delivered by video to teach hygiene skills to students with significant cognitive disabilities. The independent variable in this study is personal hygiene instruction delivered by a video model. The dependent variable in this study is the ability of a participant to complete a multi-step hygiene task. The dependent variable will be measured during each data session of intervention by two scorers using the same measures and procedures across phases. Visual analysis demonstrated a functional relationship between the hygiene skill video model intervention and an increase in the percentage of steps completed correctly in a hygiene skill task analysis. All four participants demonstrated an immediate increase in accuracy after receiving the intervention and maintained skill accuracy after the intervention was withdrawn. Direction for future research and implications for practitioners are discussed.
