Video Modeling

What is it? “a visual teaching method that occurs by watching a video of someone modeling a targeted behavior or skill and then imitating the behavior/skill watched.” (Watch Me Learn)

What can you use it for?
       Motor behaviors
       Social skills
       Communication
       Self-monitoring
       Functional life skills
       Vocational skills
       Athletic performance
       Emotional regulation


This is a great tool to use for a variety of skills. Luckily we are often surrounded by many different types of technology; lets take advantage of the built in features, such as cameras and videos! At my school, we did a presentation with all of the speech and language therapists to show staff how they can use the cameras on their iPads for video modeling! This could benefit many students in special education that are struggling with a skill.
