The interruption in the education of students with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) during the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated telehealth services offered both to the individuals and their parents. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of the simultaneous prompting procedure and observational learning in teaching science facts to middle-school students with ASD by using multiple probe designs with probe trials via telehealth. The researchers also conducted follow-up and novel adult probe sessions to assess the effects of simultaneous prompting procedure and observational learning along with the opinions of students and their mothers in terms of social validity. Results indicated that students acquired the target science facts and observational learning skills, maintained them over time, and generalized them across different people. The implication of the findings and directions for future research was additionally discussed., Author(s): Uzeyir Emre Kiyak [sup.1], Ozlem Toper [sup.2] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.440474.7, 0000 0004 0386 4242, Department of Special Education, Usak University, , Usak, Turkey (2) grid.34538.39, 0000 0001 2182 [...]
