Here are a few ways I&#8217;ve either heard about or read about for using videotaping in early intervention to help families bridge the gap between visits and everyday life:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Using a parent&#8217;s cell phone camera to record the parent or provider using the strategy during the visit.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is a great idea because so many phones now have video capability and it seems like everyone has one. A parent can then\u00a0show the video to another caregiver after the visit or can refer back to the video him\/herself between visits as a reminder of what to do. I can&#8217;t take credit for this fantastic idea. Check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5--GzEeUops&amp;feature=youtu.be\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">video clip<\/a> on our site to hear from the\u00a0PT who shared this idea with us. Thanks Belkis!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Loaning the family a flip camera to record a\u00a0daily routine that occurs between visits.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Maybe dinnertime is a disaster or the child has trouble with being put into his carseat in the mornings to go to daycare. Of course, the best idea is to observe these routines first-hand to offer support, but when the provider can&#8217;t be there, videotaping may offer another way to support the family. The video can then be watched during the next visit and the provider and parent can problem-solve together. OR, maybe there&#8217;s a routine that goes really well that can be taped. When the video is watched, the provider and parent can talk together to develop strategies that can fit into the routine to support the child&#8217;s development.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Asking the family to videotape themselves using an intervention strategy between visits.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-184\" src=\"http:\/\/veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Woman Recording Toddler with Ball\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.veipd.org\/earlyintervention\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/shutterstock_7238164-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Seeing what life is like when\u00a0the service provider isn&#8217;t\u00a0there can really help the provider\u00a0offer better, more meaningful support than just making random suggestions that may or may not fit with what actually happens between visits. The video can provide a jump off point for the next visit and a great way to review the strategies that were discussed during the last visit.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Videotaping the parent and child interacting during a routine then analyzing it together.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing like watching yourself on camera. This would need to be done sensitively, of course. After the routine is recorded, the parent and provider could watch together, with the provider helping the parent reflect on what he\/she did. Watching the video together can offer a fantastic opportunity for the parent to come up with strategies to improve the situation with only minor guidance and coaching from the provider.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Videotaping throughout intervention to track progress.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This\u00a0can be a great visual way to see how much a child has changed over the time, physically and developmentally. It can also be a way to see quality of changes, such as a child&#8217;s developing ability to interact, communicate more clearly, become more independently mobile, etc. A nice bonus of this type of taping is that a compilation of the videos makes a great graduation gift when the child leaves the early intervention system!<\/p>\n<p>It probably goes without saying, but be sure to protect the family&#8217;s confidentiality by always getting parent consent before\u00a0turning on your camera\u00a0and by destroying the videos\u00a0when you&#8217;re done.\u00a0 I&#8217;d love to hear from you if you have\u00a0used one of these\u00a0strateiges with families or if you try out\u00a0one of these ideas.<strong> Do you have other creative ways you use videos?<\/strong> Share your ideas in the comments or shoot me an email and I&#8217;ll do the sharing for you: <a href=\"mailto:dcchildress@vcu.edu\">dcchildress@vcu.edu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the interesting ideas that&#8217;s percolating around in my brain following the DEC conference is about using videotaping during and between early intervention visits.
