Video modeling is
the most deeply researched and valid educational and behavioral‐training
strategy in the mobile technology arsenal. During this half of the workshop,
participants will explore the use of this strategy in positive behavioral
support interventions for people with behavioral challenges, including supports
for anxiety‐ management, task‐completion, wayfinding, problem‐solving, and
social interactions. Participants will practice making effective instructional
videos for a variety of students and situations and explore applications
designed for video modeling uses. Learning from the first day’s workshop will
be leveraged to combine all strategies for the just‐right solution for
individual students.
