Abstract	For children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), impairments in social skills can impact interactions with peers, family members, and the world. Impairments in social skills vary from person to person, and may include lack of eye contact, limited affect, or nonexistent verbal communication. One strategy for teaching social skills to children with ASD is to use a combination of "video modeling" and "peer mentoring." Videos can be played repeatedly, which is beneficial to students with ASD who learn through repetition. In addition, video models provide real-life examples of the desired skills, taking the mystery out of some facets of social interaction and creating a concrete visual for students with ASD. Combining video modeling with peer mentoring--using peers of students with disabilities to practice skills, provide feedback on the skills, and provide increased chances for social engagement--can foster a greater impact in providing social skills instruction. This article discusses how teachers can create effective videos using peer models. (Contains 1 table, 2 figures, and 4 online resources.) (ERIC).
