- Supplies
Content Taught
-
Using a task analysis, students will be taught how to properly hang up a party sign.
Teaching Procedures
- Create a video using a video model to show the steps for completing the home maintenance task on and iPad (see Kellems et al., 2016 below).
- Use the iPhone video to teach each step of the task analysis.
- Allow the student to view the video of the behavior chain with directions
- Provide the student five seconds to initiate the response, 10 seconds to complete the step, and one minute to complete the behavior chain
- If the student does not initiate the response in five seconds, complete the step in 10 second, or does not complete the behavior in one minute, move onto another behavior chain
Task Analysis: Hang up Party Sign
- Select party sign
- Tie one side up on wall
- Tie other side up on wall
- Stop
Evaluation
Students performance is evaluated by calculating a percentage of the steps the student completed independently. A step is considered completed independently if the student initiates the task within five seconds of viewing the video, completing each step within 10 second of initiation, and completing the task within one minute from initiation of the first step. Students are expected to complete each task to 90% accuracy.
