Using Your Own Device

      • Need parental permission for the exact purpose you will be using it for
      • Need a secure way to protect the videos once taken (don’t just save them on your smart phone!)
      • Need to make sure no other HIPAA-protected children are in the video
      • Don’t show it to anyone who doesn’t have HIPAA permission to watch it

Using the Child’s Device

      • Still need parent permission with expressly-written consent about how the videos will be used and where they will be saved (so that others don’t accidentally see them)
      • Need to make sure no other HIPAA-protected children are in the video

Ways to Use Video Recording:

    • To track progress over time
    • To send home homework
    • To communicate with parents and share successes
    • To show the child evidence of a behavior that he doesn’t know he’s doing
    • To increase self-awareness and carry-over
    • To provide appropriate models for the child to follow (such as by using editing to take out mistakes so the final performance looks flawless)
