The I Can Do It!
video presents social skills in the context of challenging
circumstances. It features elementary school-aged children
demonstrating appropriate behavior in a variety of difficult
situations. 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.
The video is hosted by the young children in the video, who
narrate each scene.
With narration: In the first half of the video, the visual
is combined with narration and graphics that help explain
the particular rule.
Without narration: In the second half of the video, 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 social skill is demonstrated in more than one situation
and across environments. This is useful to children with Asperger's
Syndrome and Autism because it helps with generalization of
the skill taught.
Graphics and music are used to make the video appealing to
children with Asperger's Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder,
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. 53 min.
