Ensino incidental em crianças com autismo: avaliação de um programa de treinamento profissional utilizando vídeo modelação

Abstract

The scoping review analyzed 11 studies that utilized video modeling (VM) to train family members and professionals in the application of behavior-analytic procedures based on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The training programs included parents, caregivers, teachers, and even undergraduate students, with positive results in intervention skill acquisition. The interventions varied in duration and format but frequently incorporated VM as a central component, alongside Behavior Skills Training (BST), feedback, and self-monitoring as complementary elements. In Brazil, 5 out of the 11 studies were conducted, highlighting the role of VM as a viable alternative to address challenges in accessing ABA therapy within the growing demand for specialized services for individuals with ASD. The findings reinforce the relevance of VM in the need for standardized and accessible training and suggest further applied research in the Brazilian context to expand effective public policies aimed at increasing the availability of therapeutic services.
