Where Can Video Modeling Be Used and By Whom?
Video Modeling (VM) can be used in a variety of settings including day-care, schools, and the home. For example, a VM intervention could benefit a young child who struggles with initiating with his peers at a child-care center, during snack time, or during group play. Or a young child might struggle with sharing with their sibling(s) in the home
Conducting a VM intervention in the home setting is particularly important as many children are being diagnosed during the early stages of development when intervention is often most beneficial but the child may be too young to attend formal educational settings. Early intervention services using video modeling can be effectively delivered in the home or at a child care setting.
The practice scenarios developed for this learning module will focus on conducting a VM intervention in two settings: early childhood centers and homes or home-based programs.
