Once you start tuning in to the idea of video modeling while watching shows and movies, you will notice that one episode or movie can be used as a teaching tool for many skills.

The videos often show an example of the 'expected' and 'unexpected' behaviors, to which we then pause and discuss with the group.

We try to choose age appropriate TV shows and videos that the participants enjoy and are motivated by.

While there are videos out there for purchase, we have always preferred using our own video collection.
