title: Use of video modelling to teach complex and meaningful job skills to an adult with autism spectrum disorder.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the effectiveness of a video modelling (VM) intervention to teach job-related telephone skills to an adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
  
  
  METHODS
  A multiple baseline design across four telephone-relevant behaviours was used to assess the effects of the intervention on the participant's ability to respond to telephone calls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Use of the VM intervention led to immediate improvements in listening and responding to both orders and complaints; more gradual improvements were also observed in the participant's professional speech. All skill increases were maintained at follow-up.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  VM may be an effective method of teaching complex vocational skills to adults with ASD, although a stronger focus on social skills may be warranted in the future.
