The Model
Me Going Places™ video features children,
ages 2-8, involved in activities in the community. It is designed
to familiarize children with locations that may be challenging,
and to help teach appropriate behavior in these locations
through peer modeling. Each scene lasts between 2-4 minutes,
depending on the chapter. At the end of each chapter is a
storyboard summarizing the locations shown.

Me Going Places™ DVD by Rachel Rambach, a Board-Certified

disabilities.

Disorders. A high production value helps keep the child's
interest so that he or she will want to watch many times.
