Video Modeling
Video modeling and visuals are research-based instructional strategies used to teach new skills. Visual supports have been successfully used to teach children with disabilities a variety of skills of including literacy skills, cooking, encouraging positive behavior, and providing activity schedules. Visuals include any pictures used to accompany or replace written/verbal information. 
What does that look like?
Video modeling means using a video of the student, a staff member or other character in a particular scenario. Videos are commonly used to show appropriate and inappropriate task and behavior expectations. They can be used to model procedural tasks such as loading and operating the washer and dryer. They can also be used to debrief around social situations to practice perspective-taking.
