Teaching Kitchen Skills to an Autistic Adolescent in His Own Kitchen with Video Modeling Presented on a Tablet PC

Abstract
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have various difficulties in kitchen.For example, individuals who cannot exhibitkitchen skills such as food preparation, setting the table and collecting things on the table, among the most basic skills in the home setting, expect help from their family members to meet the most basic and vital needs, such as nutrition, and continue their lives dependent on others. However, nutrition is a skill specific to personal needs, which is so vital for development and metabolism that it should not be left to the support of others. Therefore, this need should be met by the person himself/herself, independently of family members. In line with this need, skills of preparing an instant soup,setting the dinner table, and placing dirty dishes in the dishwater were taught to a 16-year-old male adolescent with ASD in this study. The skills were taught with video modeling presented on a tablet PC. After the adolescent learned the skills, the participant's own, his parents', and his older brother's opinions were asked on whether he maintained the learned skills 9 and 18 days after the intervention, generalized them. Finally, the participant's level of non-target information acquisition regarding the skills was examined. A multiple probe design across skills, among single-case experimental research designs, was employedin the study. The results show that the participant has acquired, maintained, and generalized the target skills. Furthermore, it is observed that the family members are satisfied with the study.
