Abstract

Video-enhanced activity schedule (VidAS) embeds a video model within a visual schedule, then links the images in the visual schedule to a video model clip, completing the step represented in each image. VidAS could leverage the strength of standard visual schedules and offer learners on the autism spectrum extra support to illustrate a sequence of events, prepare them for the following step within an activity or chain of activities, and model them to independently learn and complete a series of activities or tasks. Practitioners could use VidAS across settings, age groups, and skills and behaviors for individuals on the autism spectrum. The purpose of this manuscript is to present the key steps for creating and implementing VidAS using the acronym CHECK. Special education and general education teachers or professionals can utilize the CHECK strategy to create VidAS and increase the participation and independence of their students on the autism spectrum.
