Straight Talk on Autism - Staff Training Video
Note: Review only, product no longer for sale.
Help school staff learn the basics of autism for school inclusion.
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the diagnoses of students with autism. While they often have great potential, school can present an overwhelming challenge to them and their parents, not to mention staff. And with inclusion, everyone gets involved. Yet many of us remain unfamiliar with the particulars of autism. These two videos feature interviews with kids with autism and their parents. The first video looks at early childhood, while the second investigates adolescent issues. Two 40 minute videos, closed captioned. 1999.

PLAY Tip
Occupational Therapy: Cut Up Fruits and Vegetables
A great toy for developing good fine motor skills in kids with mild special needs and visual impairments. Try slicing up a nice salad and then see if your child can match up the pieces again! Can your child hold the food with one hand and cut it up using the knife with the other? Many good creative games can be played with these. To add to the fun, add old pots, Tupperware, and kitchen tools.
