The Amazing Mirror: How To Manual for Video Self-Modeling: An Evidence-Based Approach to Social Emotional Learning In and Out of School

The Amazing Mirror (TAM): How To Manual for Video Self-Modeling: An Evidence-Based Approach to Social Emotional Learning In and Out of School is a book targeting a variety of school personnel, clinical professionals, and families who teach children with social emotional needs--specifically, children with a diagnosis of an autism spectrum disorder and other social emotional needs and disabilities--while considering their social skills, transitional, and social behavioral skills. Video Self-Modeling (VSM) is an evidence-based approach to social emotional learning, providing a creative, fun, and powerful video tool wherein children watch themselves imitate and perform a desired skill correctly on video and in return feel the everyday successes of school and life challenges. This approach has been around for two decades and now is fully adapted to the school setting with easy ideas and up-to-date technology. This book is intended to provide an easy yet practical tool to professionals and families for teaching children and monitoring progress for social emotional growth as applied through VSM.
