Video Modelling

Video modelling is a teaching strategy that uses video recordings to demonstrate desired behaviours, skills, or social interactions, which the viewer can then observe and imitate. In autism education, video modelling is particularly effective because it leverages the visual learning strengths common among autistic individuals. A variant called video self-modelling involves showing individuals recordings of themselves successfully performing target behaviours, which serves as a powerful form of positive reinforcement and can build confidence and self-regulation skills.
