Introduction: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) experience neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by difficulties with social interaction, communication, and repetitive behavioral patterns. Brushing teeth is one of the behaviors that needs to be trained in children with ASD, and one effective method for this is Point-of-View Video Modeling (POVVM). This study aims to evaluate the changes in toothbrushing skills among children with Autism Spectrum Disorders following intervention using the POVVM method. Methods: This study used a descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The subjects, selected using the total sampling method were 16 children with ASD from SLB Bunda Bening Selakshahati, Bandung Regency, consisting of 15 boys and 1 girl. The study was conducted in 3 stages, pretest, intervention, and posttest. Results: The highest pre-intervention frequency observed was for the rinsing skill (56.25%), whereas the highest post-intervention score was achieved in the skill of brushing the lower middle teeth (93.75%). The most substantial improvement was also noted in brushing the lower middle teeth, with an increase of 43.75%. Conclusion: The toothbrushing skills of children with ASD improved following the POVVM intervention, progressing from the moderately skilled to the skilled category.
