The study helped determine the effectiveness of a videodisc-based social skills training program for mildly handicapped elementary school children. The program teaches children how to use appropriate phrasing, intonation, and body language in such social interactions as getting involved and being positive The videodisc is used to present examples of appropriate and inappropriate social behaviors, and models to imitate in subsequent role-playing activities. Six elementary school resource rooms, each containing five mildly handicapped students, were randomly assigned to participate in the program (experimental group) or to continue their regular resource room program (control group). Data on the student's social behavior, acceptance by nonhandicapped peers, self-esteem, and treatment implementation were collected over a 4-month period. Experimental group students scored significantly higher on a posttraining measure of peer acceptance and postchecklist of social skills than did control group students. No treatment effect was found for a postchecklist of social behaviors not covered in the program or on a postmeasure on self-esteem. The social behavior of the students in natural school settings was directly observed for 16 weeks. Treatment group students made a greater improvement than did control group students, but the difference was not statistically significant It was concluded that both the videodisc instruction and the peer tutoring were important to the success of the program. Videodisc program design considerations are also discussed.
