Lately, I have been getting requests for workshops/seminars/webinars/webexes etc. regarding self-modeling. Last month I presented a Webex from Fort Hays State University to the Kansas Autism Network. This was transmitted to about 100 parents and professionals around the state. My thanks to the wonderful people there who helped out and made my stay very enjoyable. That was my first time to KS.
Prior to the KS presentation I participated in the American Speech and Hearing Association’s Annual Online Conference. I produced a 15-slide PowerPoint presentation, to go with an hour long phone interview that attendees could view at their leisure and then did an hour of online Q & A live. Another new experience and I didn’t even have to get out of my seat in my office for that one which reached about 260 participants.
In June, I will be traveling to Vermont to kick-off their annual Autism Training.
Next month I i will be doing a webinar interview with Linda Hodgson at Autism Family Online. She is doing a month of webinars on using video with children with autism. You need to be a member to participate, and I’m not sure what the cost is for that. Linda says she typically has around 2500 people viewing her webinars.
I’m also waiting for confirmation from two other events.
It seems that word is spreading about VSM and other forms of video modeling. I’ve been hearing more and more about people using it with very positive effects. If you are using it, please communicate with us here at Siskin Children’s Institute about your experiences.
