Summary

The purpose of the current study is to determine if pre-exposure through video modeling will enhance testing compliance in a population of children who are receiving a diagnostic evaluation for Autism.

Detailed description

The purpose of the current study is to determine if pre-exposure through video modeling will enhance testing compliance in a population of children who are receiving a diagnostic evaluation for Autism. Another purpose of this study is to determine if pre-exposure to the test setting can increase the compliance on individual test measures. To test the central hypothesis and accomplish the study objective, 2 aims guide the proposed study. 1. Determine the extent to which pre-exposure to expectations and tasks that occur during the audiological evaluation will increase audiological testing compliance. Hypothesis: Children receiving the intervention video, which will model what they will experience during the audiological evaluation, will show greater compliance during the evaluation than children who receive the placebo video. 2. Determine the extent to which enhanced testing compliance will increase the number of test measures obtained during an audiological evaluation. Hypothesis: Children who are more compliant during the audiological evaluation will allow the audiologist to obtain more test measures in a single appointment than the children who are less compliant.

Conditions

• Autism

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Video Modeling Intervention	Prior to arrival of the audiological evaluation, the child and caregiver will be required to watch one of two videos created by the research personnel. One video, the intervention video, is a behavior modeling video walking through the entire audiological evaluation. It also includes tips for caregivers to practice with their child before the appointment. The other video is a placebo video that discusses hearing, listening and ears, that does not discuss tips for caregivers to practice with their child before the appointment. The placebo video is not related to the audiological evaluation.
BEHAVIORAL	Placebo Video	The other video is a placebo video that discusses hearing, listening and ears, that does not discuss tips for caregivers to practice with their child before the appointment. The placebo video is not related to the audiological evaluation.
