Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The video intervention will teach participants to use the usual and customary hygiene skills. Participants will view a child in their age range demonstrating proper brushing using the Bass brushing technique. The video will also have written narration at the bottom of the screen delivering printed information using Social Story style prompts. The Social Story prompts will also be read aloud for auditory delivery of information. The video will be two to three minutes long.
Success of intervention will be determined using data collected at multiple times during the pilot. First, clinical exams will be completed before the intervention, half way through the intervention, and at the end of three weeks to evaluate how clean the patients oral cavity appears. Exams should take no more than twenty minutes in the dental chair. Second, Qualtrics emails will be sent to the patient's caregiver at 5:30 AM and 4:30 PM each day during intervention providing access to the instructional video. After opening the email and watching the video, there will be a simple "yes or no" survey question asking the caregiver if the video was watching before that brushing session. Finally, more in depth caregiver surveys will be completed at the end of each week during the intervention consisting of no more than fifteen questions. The surveys will evaluate the caregiver's perception of intervention success. At completion of the intervention the video will be made available to all participants via Youtube.com. One final survey will be sent to caregivers three weeks post intervention to determine if the video is still being used for hygiene reinforcement.
Multiple efforts for study control will be implemented. To control for the impact that watching a video twice a day may have Group 2 will watch a control video. Group 1 will watch a dental hygiene video. Clinical evaluators will also be blinded to prevent bias when evaluating the two groups clinically. One examiner will conduct initial exams. A second examiner will conduct all subsequent exams with no knowledge of what group each patient is assigned. Evaluators will be calibrated pre-study evaluating hygiene patients at the dental clinic.
All participants in this study will also be enrolled at Yale Child Study Center to measure the participants IQ using autism specific IQ testing methods.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1
Group 1 will receive plaque index exam and immediately start their three week intervention of watching a dental hygiene video immediately before brushing twice per day. Plaque index exams will be completed at start, t-10 days, and t-21 days. Parental surveys will be completed at each plaque index exam and 6 weeks after start.
video modeled social story
Patient will watch a Youtube compatible video of a child in the same age range as the study participants demonstrating proper brushing technique. The video will be paired with written subtitles created using the Social Story format. The subtitles will be read to the participant as the video plays. The patient will watch the video immediately before each brushing session morning and night for the three week intervention. After the intervention period the video will be made available on Youtube.com for the participants to use as they wish.
Group 2
Group 2 will receive plaque index exam and immediately start their three week intervention of watching a control video immediately before brushing twice per day. Plaque index exams will be completed at start, t-10 days, and t-21 days. Parental surveys will be completed at each plaque index exam and 6 weeks after start.
