Video Modeling (VM)

By using video modeling (VM), the learner with ASD might be able to process information easier and more quickly.

What Will I Learn?

The AFIRM model guides the learner through four lessons to facilitate:

  • Learning basic knowledge about visual supports (VM).
  • Applying VM in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.

The VM module will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. However, the module is broken into individual lessons to help guide your learning:

Lesson Time to Complete
A Case for VM 10 minutes
Lesson 1: Basics of VM 20 minutes
Lesson 2: Planning for VM 25 minutes
Lesson 3: Using VM 25 minutes
Lesson 4: Monitoring VM 25 minutes
Applying VM 10 minutes
