Overview of Video Modeling
Video modeling is a mode of teaching that uses video recording and display equipment to provide a visual model of the targeted behavior or skill. Types of video modeling include basic video modeling, video self-modeling, point-of-view video modeling, and video prompting. Basic video modeling involves recording someone besides the learner engaging in the target behavior or skill (i.e., models). The video is then viewed by the learner at a later time. Video self-modeling is used to record the learner displaying the target skill or behavior and is reviewed later. Point-of-view video modeling is when the target behavior or skill is recorded from the perspective of the learner. Video prompting involves breaking the behavior skill into steps and recording each step with incorporated pauses during which the learner may attempt the step before viewing subsequent steps. Video prompting may be done with either the learner or someone else acting as a model.

Steps for Video Modeling:
Choose the target behavior
Choose the equipment (tablets work great)
Break down the target behavior using a Task Analysis
Choose the type of video modeling (Video self‐modeling (VSM) • Point of view modeling • Video priming • Adult or peer modeling • Natural environment )
Determine the location for the video shoot
Decide if you need any additional actors
Decide when to show the video to the student (i.e. right before the behavior can be demonstrated in the natural environment or as role play)
Record data on demonstration of the target behavior
Fade the video - to help the student gain independents (performing the skill without or with less of the video)
Evaluate for effectiveness and target a new skill to teach
