A multiple-baseline across behaviors design was employed to investigate the effects of a video modeling intervention incorporating real and animated models and a chaining procedure, on increasing independent toileting skills in two young boys diagnosed with ASD. Results showed this intervention was effective in reducing the number of prompts required for the boys to walk to the toilet, undress, sit on and urinate in the toilet, redress and flush. Gains were maintained over a 4?week period and generalized to other settings. Both participants could independently complete the toileting sequence post-intervention. The current study contributes to the small body of research literature regarding toilet training and video modeling, providing evidence for a rapid and effective toilet training method, and introduced the use of animation to overcome obvious practical limitations in depicting a sensitive private event such as toileting.
