Step 2.4 Implement an activity to engage the skill or behavior
After the young child watches the video, the child’s behavior is then observed during an activity or condition that stimulates or provokes the desired behavior. For example, if the targeted skill is to complete a puzzle, then the follow-up activity to watching the VM will be the child attempting to complete the same puzzle. The task or targeted skill should match the VM.
VIDEO: Implementing the Video Model
Some questions to consider when implementing video modeling:
- How often do I show the video?
- Do I tell the child what to look for?
- Do I provide feedback to the child?
Some of these questions will be addressed in the monitoring progress (Step 3) section.
