Video Modeling to Improve Functional Skills in the Community

Funded Oct 8, 2013

Thank you for providing our class with an Apple TV and iPod. We have been using the iPod to take pictures and videos while traveling in the community. We have been using the Apple TV to view these pictures and videos in class. Additionally we are syncing our iPad to the apple TV and reviewing our outing scheduling and viewing transportation schedules as a class on our extron projection system.

The students have benefited from seeing there actions in the community and reviewing what when well and what needs improvement. They are also improving in the ability to read bus schedules and plan the transportation for our weekly outings. I attribute this to the ability to place a large projected schedule on the wall and provide lesson content in a group setting.

I have just finished travel training one of our students who no longer needs school provided transportation. Instead they are taking the public bus and BART. This is a result of the increased travel training, scheduling, and safety skill lessons I have been able to do as a result of the provided materials.”

With gratitude,

Mr. Leavitt
