Video Modeling for Gross and Fine Motor Tasks

The Journal of Special Education published research on the effectiveness of video modeling for fine and gross motor tasks.  The subjects consisted of 3 individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities and 3 individuals with autism. The results indicated the following:

• an increase in the number of fine and gross motor tasks correctly performed following the introduction of video modeling. 
• students across both groups performed more gross motor than fine motor tasks independently correct 
• students in the intellectual disabilities group performed more tasks independently correct than those in autism group. 

Do you ever use video modeling to teach motor skills?
