Methods for Video Self Modeling:
Method 1 – Have students role-play or imitate behavior that is being targeted  – Effective when targeting social or language skills   – Video, edit, & watch Method 2 – Provide the student with hidden supports that will enable the him/her to complete the task – Video close footage of the student  - Excluding the provided supports    – Edit out the supports     – Create the illusion that the student can completed the task without assistance

Method 3 – Tape the student over a period of time     – Edit the footage to show only the desirable skills/behaviors that may be more rarely performed

Steps for Creating a Video Model:
Steps: 1. Decide on behavior/skill to address Questions to ask/consider: – is this a behavior/skill that can be addressed through a less time consuming method  – is this behavior/skill impeding the child’s learning or access to the environment   – is this behavior/skill an important one to change/improve 2. Do a task analysis of skill/behavior - determine each skill needed in sequence - create a storyboard 3. Establish Baseline through data collection

4. Videotape skills/behaviors 5. Edit video so that only the desirable skills/behaviors are seen (max 3 min)

6. Provide individual a set time to view video of themselves demonstrating desired skills/behaviors 7. Take data - Take data during intervention  - Return to baseline   - Take data during maintenance Tools Needed: Video Camera - Digital video camera, digital camera or VHS camera Video-editing software
