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.
