Modeling (MD)

By using modeling (MD), the learner with ASD can acquire and generalize new skills/behaviors. 

What Will I Learn?

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

  • Learning basic knowledge about modeling (MD).
  • Applying MD in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.

The MD 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 MD 10 minutes
Lesson 1: Basics of MD 20 minutes
Lesson 2: Planning for MD 25 minutes
Lesson 3: Using MD 25 minutes
Lesson 4: Monitoring MD 25 minutes
