Adaptive skills are important skills for students with significant disabilities to learn to help be more independent in the classroom. The purpose of this study is to see if preschool students can learn adaptive skills via video prompts and if the skill can be maintained once the video prompts are removed. Findings showed that all three students were able to make positive progress in learning their adaptive skill using video prompts. Two of the students reached the maintenance phase and both were able to remove the video prompts and maintain the learned skill. These two students also showed an interest in wanting to swipe through and start their own videos during the intervention. Therefore, video prompts also have the possibility of helping students become more independent, which leads to more or continued inclusion with their peers and by being included are in more diverse classrooms.
