The Model Me Tips & Tricks
DVD features upper elementary, 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 children 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 social skill is demonstrated in more than one situation
and across environments. This is useful to children with Asperger
Syndrome and Autism because it helps with generalization of
the skill taught.
Graphics and music are used to make the dvd appealing to
children with Aspergers Syndrome and Autism.
Run Time: Approx. 67 minutes
