Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) deal with impairments in functional living skills. Video-based instruction (VBI) has been used for teaching and enhancing functional living skills for adolescents and young adults with ASD. This literature review of 19 relevant reports investigates various different types of VBI used in the studies. It explores the utilization and efficacy of VBI in enhancing the functional living capabilities of adolescents and young adults with ASD. Social skills were taught in most of the included studies. Only two studies focused on workplace social skills, three on vocational skills, and one on academic skills. The findings demonstrate that video modeling (VM) alone or in conjunction with other methods or strategies, is the method most often used in enhancement of functional living skills in adolescents and young adults with ASD.
