Abstract
Accidental poisoning of children in the United States is a problem, especially for vulnerable children with developmental disabilities. Research has shown that active learning approaches such as behavioral skills training are more effective for teaching poison safety skills to children with disabilities. Some research also suggests that video modeling and video self-modeling (VSM) may be effective for teaching safety skills to children with disabilities. As only one study has evaluated VSM for teaching gun safety skills, more research is needed to evaluate this intervention. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using VSM to teach poison safety skills to children with disabilities. The experimental design was a multiple baseline design across participants. The researcher found that VSM was effective for one participant and VSM with IST was effective for the other two.
