One-To-One Instructional Procedures for Learners With Developmental Disabilities

From the Introduction of this 35 page "Video modeling and video prompting can be used successfully to teach learners with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Indeed, parents and teachers can use video modeling and video prompting to teach a variety of adaptive behaviors, which would allow individuals with ASD to participate more successfully in home, school, and community settings and enjoy a higher quality of life. This step-by-step manual is intended for parents, teachers, staff and therapists who are responsible for the care, education, and therapy of individuals with ASD. It provides details on how to make effective instructional videos and describes the steps involved in using video-based instruction to model and prompt desired behaviors and teach new skills. It also explains how to reduce dependence on video models and video prompts once the learner has acquired the desired behaviors."
