ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses research results and explores advice to visual art teachers seeking to remedy the issues by introducing a new teaching method applied in the art classroom, video modeling. Video modeling is widely used within the field of special education to teach a number of skills and can be easily applied to an art classroom setting. Video modeling interventions have been shown effective in teaching a variety of skills to students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and have become evidence based practice supported by numerous studies in special education research. Implementing video modeling into the classroom has become streamlined for all educators and simple steps have been adapted from a number of sources. Video modeling may become even more successful when paired with Inclusive Arts. The misconceptions that students with ASD lack the required skills to participate in art-making activities have been dispelled as students with autism continue to create art and benefit from their experiences.
