What are Video Based Interventions?

Video Based Interventions are an intervention that can be utilized to aide students with disabilities specifically students on the autism spectrum. Most students with ASD benefit greatly from visuals. Students also benefit from being exposed to the same concept in different forms and situations helping them gain further comprehension of the topic (Gidley- Larson & Suchy, 2014). Video based intervention is a teaching strategy that relies on visuals and has unlimited repetition possibilities to help students to retain information, has been proven to benefit students with ASD.
