Description:

This session will focus on the use of video modeling in a preschool for autistic children. Video modeling is used by a team of speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists to support autistic preschoolers in transitions, play skills, and social activities. The session will demonstrate how to create video models, how to use video modeling to support all students, and provide demonstrations of video modeling in action, as well as show the progression of video modeling the team has developed from novice to more targeted and effective. Participants will leave this session with a better understanding of how to create and implement video models, the value of video models in a preschool environment and the efficacy of using this tool to support a class of preschoolers.

Learning Outcomes:

As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:

• 1. As a result of this session, Participants will identify at least two benefits of video modeling in skill development in autistic preschoolers.

• 2. As a result of attending this session, Participants will identify at least two video modeling strategies to support participation in common preschool routines (e.g., transitions, circle time, turn-taking, or motor activities).

• 3. As a result of attending this session, Participants will design an outline to use to create a video model to use within a classroom setting and create a plan to integrate video models into daily activities to improve communication, social interaction, and functional participation.
