See Video Samples

The video is hosted by children from the DVD, 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, Autism 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 skill is demonstrated in more than one situation and across environments. This is useful to children with Autism and Asperger Syndrome because it helps with generalization of the skill taught.

Graphics and music are used to make the video appealing, and a high production value helps keep the child's interest so that he or she will want to watch many times.

Bonus DVD for adults: The DVD is supplemented by a video geared towards parents, therapists, teachers, and schools with suggestions for supporting bullying prevention. It features Nick Dubin, an adult with Asperger Syndrome, and School Psychologist Dr. Erica Edelman.
