Description
Gemiini is a clinically proven program with on-demand video therapy and teaching tools to teach new information and train (or retrain) the brain how to think. To do this, Gemiini breaks down information into understandable and digestible bites to teach speech, language, reading, social skills, and life skills.
Gemiini does this by using a clinically proven approach called discrete video modeling, which focuses on one concept at a time and presents that information in a video session-based format that fits easily within our modern lifestyles. This makes Gemiini an ideal solution for people with special needs like Autism, Down syndrome, Speech Delay, Stroke, and others.
The service is online and has a huge library of content easily tailored to suit everyone’s unique needs. To make sure the learning never has to stop, our on-staff videographers and editors are always hard at work to make new videos available to you daily. And with the ability to create and upload your own video clips, the learning possibilities are endless!
Gemiini is completely non-threatening and children learn naturally, while they are engaged in other activities like at mealtime, riding in the car, or during grocery shopping.
DISCRETE VIDEO MODELING (DVM)- Breaks words and ideas into short, understandable bites by eliminating distractions. Repetition, Audio-Visual pairing, and context increase retention. DVM supports the way our brains work.
DVM presents each concept as a discrete learning bite – without unnecessary information or distractions. Using a multi-view approach, the learner is exposed repeatedly to a word or concept in three contexts:
- Name Card - The actor pronounces the word in front of a simple title card: Word Name + Picture
- Mouth View - The camera focuses only on the mouth as the actor speaks the word. Learners feel their own mouth wanting to move with the actor.
- Action Scene (Generalization). Using actor vignettes, animations, and conceptual groupings, the word or skill is presented in daily life.
THE BENEFITS OF GEMIINI:
Research-Based: An evidence-based practice since 1990, video modeling is a demonstration of the targeted behavior or skill shown to the learner to assist learning in or engaging in a desired behavior or skill. Research shows that Gemiini fosters significant language acquisition.Because Gemiini can start before a school-age diagnosis, children receive a multi-year head-start building their critical language skills.
- Efficiency: Learning targets are quickly identified through assessment tools and professional support.
- Real-Time Collaboration: Team members can review and adjust the student curriculum, targets, and progress—in real-time.
- Enduring: The Discrete video model reinforces skills to be applied in clinics, at school, and at home. It promotes generalization and maintenance of skills.
- Flexible: Anywhere/anytime approach works at home, school, road trips, and more.
- Access: Promotes early therapy unencumbered by wait times, waitlists, or age limits. Gemiini allows for immediate access to care.
- Economical: Gemiini provides access to therapy services that traditional face-to-face therapies can’t keep up with demand, nor the costs.
Gemiini has removed unnecessary stimuli, allowed individualization for each child, and added elements of generalization:
After reviewing the published research, it makes perfect sense to me as a clinician that Gemiini patients have seen significant gains - Dr. Heather O’Shea, BCBA-D Chief Clinical Officer ACES (CA-OR-WA-HI-CO-TX-UT)
Gemiini is one of the first tools we have seen that could legitimately be called a breakthrough... Our staff believes that Gemiini will revolutionize the way we teach language to children with language delays. - Keri Jones, CCC-SLP Speech Language Pathologist Pullman Regional Hospital (WA)
