Gemiini’s video library continues to grow and expand. However, personalized videos are often more effective in teaching specific skills. For example, watching a video of mom making a sandwich can be more engaging than watching a model or an actor performing the same task.

Gemiini’s Learning Platform uses Discrete Video Modeling (DVM) to cut out distractions in both the learning environment and the video itself so the student can focus on one “learning bite” at a time. DVM breaks down concepts into understandable and digestible bits of knowledge, making it the optimum learning approach for people with special needs.

In the age of YouTube, TikTok, and other Social Media platforms, video modeling is at our fingertips. I recently ordered a new office chair from a popular online website and had some difficulty deciphering the over complicated instructions of putting the chair together. A quick Google search later, I found a step-by-step video showing how to assemble the chair. I watched, re-watched, and assembled my new chair without difficulty.

In the YouTube era, “video modeling” has become the easiest and most direct way to learn new skills. From training a puppy, learning to dance, pulling a transmission, or even performing surgery, just about every skill can be mastered through short, targeted videos.

Generalization is the ability to apply something learned to other situations. If you learned to tie your shoe, can you tie a bow with a ribbon? The goal is to see progress outside of the therapy setting, such as, at home, at school, or the park – and with other people, such as grandparents, the babysitter, or a teacher.

At Gemiini, we like to disguise the line between work and play – especially if your learner resists buckling down and working with the Language Pyramid Videos.
