Abstract: Video modeling (VM) is a type of video-based instruction that shows each step in a chain of skills needed to complete a task. It is a well-established instructional intervention that can improve a variety of education-related outcomes for students with autism. This article describes the steps special educators who want to use VM for instruction will need to follow, including establishing candidacy, preproduction, postproduction, and implementation. With the ubiquity of smartphones, tablet computers, and simple video editing software and platforms, VM can be used by nearly any special educator and can ensure consistent instruction across school staff to reliably evaluate the intervention effects.
