Layperson Summary:

Children with autism may learn better by watching a movie/video of a person doing something than watching a real person doing something.

This study was designed to see if movies/videos could help children with autism learn daily-living skills. Each movie/video showed a skill and broke the skill down into unique steps. The study tested how many times the child watched the movie/video and was prompted before he learned to do each step of the skill. Both boys in the study learned faster when the movies/videos were used with the prompting. The study did not test what would happen if the children were taught with just the movie/video (no prompting).
