Video Models:

Can this skill be appropriately depicted in a video model?

This important social skill can be depicted in a variety of video modeling sequences. Based on the individual’s needs, this model might only cover the basic steps of entering conversations, or it might portray a variety of settings and situations to help with the more abstract skills that require judgment and more complex decision-making skills.

Have you task analyzed this skill to ensure that your video clearly depicts every key step that comprises the skill?

Who will you use as “actors” in this video – will the targeted student be included in the video?

Will you shoot this video from the perspective of the student (first person) or from the third person perspective?

Will you narrate the video?

How will you ensure that the student experiences opportunities to not only review the skill via the video model, but to also engage in repeated rehearsal of the skill across multiple contexts?

Will the student be able to review the video just prior to expected performance of that skill (priming)?
