Model Me Conversation Cues®

The Model Me Conversation Cues® DVD features middle and high school-aged children demonstrating social skills at school and in the community. Each scene lasts between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, depending on the chapter. At the end of each chapter is a storyboard summarizing the rules taught.

Hosted by teenagers from the video, who narrate each scene.

With narration: In the first half, the visual is combined with narration and graphics that help explain the particular rule.

Without narration: In the second half, the same video is repeated without narration and graphics. This allows a parent, teacher, or therapist to customize the lesson the individual child and/or to test what was learned in the first viewing of the video.

Each conversation skill is demonstrated in more than one situation and across environments. This is useful to children with Autism and Asperger's because it helps with generalization of the skill taught.

Graphics and music are used to make the video appealing to children with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, and Nonverbal Learning Disorders. A high production value helps keep the child's interest so that he or she will want to watch many times.

Run Time: Approx. 68 min.
