The fundamental aim of this research is to compare the efficiency and productivity of two strategies, video prompting and video modelling on children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The purpose of the strategy application is to instil the children behaviours on how to make tea using a tea bag and cheese toast. To determine the social validity of the study, the instructors of the subjects were investigated to collect socially valid data by use of video modelling and video prompting. The subjects of the study are three male students in their 16s and 17s diagnosed with ASD. The study was held in the kitchen of a private rehabilitation center. The results of the study indicate that the subjects (three of them) have acquired all behaviours and objectives provided through video prompting. In the video modelling method two of the subjects were successful in acquiring the target behaviours but one was not. The findings suggest that video prompting strategy is more effective than the video modelling. It was observed that the acquired behaviours were present and permanent after the research applications were over on three different check points on the 15th, 30th and 45th day. The teachers of the subjects who participated in the research also reported positive views on both strategies, video modelling and video prompting.
