 Video Modeling __Description of Intervention Method __ Video modeling is a strategy that uses video recording of a person demonstrating the target behavior or skill that a student is supposed to learn. The student then watches the video to learn the target behavior. After the behavior is learned the video can be used to reinforce the behavior if the student needs it.

__Types of Students Who Benefit from the Method __ Most students with autism benefit from video modeling. However, if other students would benefit from behavior modeling then this would be a good strategy to try.

__Qualifications for Using the Method __ There are no qualifications to use video modeling.

__Costs of Using the Method__ There is the cost of a video camera, editing software, and a computer to edit the video on. You will also need something to view the video on.

__Potential Risks with Using the Method __ There are no real risks with using video modeling other than the fact that the student may not respond to it.

__Benefits of Using the Method __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Students will be able to learn the appropriate behavior or skill that they need to know.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Settings for Method Use __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The video should be filmed in the place where the behavior or skill is used.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Field’s Attitude Towards the Method __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Video modeling is an accepted behavior modification strategy that is used with students with autism.

H., Dennis, B., Carpenter, M. H., & Greenberg, A. L. (2010). Teaching socially expressive behaviors to children with autism through video modeling. //Education and Treatment of Children, 33//(3), 371-393. Retrieved from @http://wvupressonline.com/journals/etc <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Description of Subjects __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The subjects of this study were three boys, between the ages of 7 and 11, with autism that went to an after-school behavior therapy program. All three boys displayed deficits in socially expressive behaviors.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Description of Research Design __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The researchers collected baseline data on the student displaying the target behavior. Following the baseline, they went into the treatment phase and then took data on how the students responded to the treatment.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Dependent Variable __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The dependent variable is how the students respond to the video modeling (if they reach the target behavior).

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Independent Variable __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">The independent variable is the video modeling.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">Summary of Results __ <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">All three students responded to the video modeling. However it should be noted that each student exhibited target behaviors faster than others.
