• Many students with must be directly taught many skills because they do not learn them without being direct instruction.
• Students can develop a clearer understanding through direct instruction, teacher modeling, and student-modeled activities.
20
Traditional ApproachModeling
• Research suggests children imitate the behavior of others who are significant to them, especially when reinforced.
• For such learning to occur, individual must be aware of target behavior and must be capable of imitating.
Example 1. At snack time, a child who does not consistently use a spoon is
seated across from a favorite peer who uses a spoon correctly. 2. An adult serves tiny portions of pudding to each child.3. The child modeling eating with a spoon is reinforced verbally and
with offers of more pudding following correct use of the spoon.
Direct Teaching & Modeling via Technology
Video Modeling• A procedure in which a learner is
shown a videotape of a model performing a target behavior or completing a desired task
Sigafoos, O’Reilly, & de la Cruz, 2007
22
Observational Learning Process
Four pivotal factors that need to occur:1. Attention- viewer identifies with model 2. Retention-retain images seen 3.Reproduction-reproduce actions within own repertoire4. Motivation – reason to imitate actions
From “Video Modeling: Why does it work for children with autism?” by Corbett & Abdullah, 2005
23
Types of Video Modeling Description
Basic Video Modeling Involves recording someone besides the learner engaging in the target behavior or skill (i.e. models). The video is then viewed by the learner at a later time.
Video Self-Modeling Is used to record the learner displaying the target skill or behavior and is reviewed later.
Point-of-View Video Modeling Is when the target behavior or skill is recorded from the perspective of the learner.
Video Prompting Involves breaking the behavior skill into steps and recording each step with incorporated pauses during which the learner may attempt the step before viewing subsequent steps.Can be done with the learner or someone else modeling.
Video Modeling
• Target skill you wish to teach.• Determine type of video modeling
– Do you want to show target skill from learner’s point of view or from a third person?
– If video modeling, who will be the model? – If video self-modeling, how will you prepare
learner?
•
25
Make Video
• Preparation– Make a script by breaking the task down into
steps (i.e., task analysis) or modeling the desired behaviors.
– Sometimes, video can be recorded in real time (e.g., recording a student passing through a cafeteria line) and little preparation is necessary.
• Record• Edit (Do voice over as necessary)
26
Task Analysis
1. Segment target skill into more manageable components: – Complete skill and record each step or – Observe another person (in real time or via video)
complete the activity and – Record the steps
2. Confirm that each component consists of a discrete or single skill.

Hidden CurriculumUnwritten social rules and expectations of behavior that we all
seem to know, but were never taught. No one explains these things, yet students adjust their behavior
according to expectations, knowing what the consequences are likely to be, and are prepared to make those choices seemingly without effort.
Also the hidden curriculum differs by age, gender etc…
Most kids seem to know that…• it’s not a great idea to tell the joke that was funny in the locker room to
a teacher• it’s not a smart idea to argue with a policeman – even if he is wrong
Video Examples: • Sheldon and Penny on Big Bang Theory• Ross and Rachel’s Kiss on Friends

DescriptiveSentence:
Describes what others will do.
Directive
Sentences: Worded
positively to direct desired response by individual.
Perspective Sentence:
Describes internal state of
person or reactions,
feelings, moods of others in a
given situation.
.Sometimes children enjoy having their picture taken and
their parents like to look at their picture.
I will try to smile & stay calm when I get my
picture taken.
Descriptive Sentence:
Describes situation and desired response.(answers: who, where, what and why)
On Monday at 10:30 the 3rd grade class will go to the gym and have their picture taken.
The photographer will tell me to sit on
the chair and to smile when it is time for my picture to be
taken.
Perspective Sentences:
Describes a commonly shared value or opinion.
This will make my parents happy. Most people like getting their picture taken.
The most common mistake in writing a social story is writing too few descriptive types of sentences and too many directive types of sentences
Social Stories
Social Story Pointersby Carol Gray (originator of social stories)
• Story should answer “Wh” questions– Who– What– Where– When– Why– How– Story should use positive language– “I will try to walk in the hall.” Instead of “I will not
run in the hall”
What else is important to include in writing a social narrative?
• Use visual and concrete language.• Use vocabulary appropriate for individual’s ability.• Avoid using terms such as “always” or “never”
instead use “usually” or “sometimes.” • Write flexibility into the events of the story to
address possible variations that may occur in the target situation.
