The Special Kids speech and skill development video modeling programs have been demonstrated to help many visually receptive learners acquire verbal, reading, writing, academic, motor, play, self-help, social and interactive skills. Special Kids Learning Series is designed to teach and promote quality, effective, integrated learning for children with autism spectrum disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, Down syndrome, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, Apserger syndrome, dyslexia and other developmental and learning disabilities. It has been proven that video is one of the most effective ways to reach and teach this audience. Each program focuses on teaching early academics, self-help, hygiene and socialization skills to help visually receptive learners acquire speech, reading, writing, fine motor, computer, play, human interaction and other important skills. This series employs the following teaching methods: Multi-Associative Learning: Special Kids combines video of an object, action or person through real-time video or photography, with the audio association of its identification through the spoken word. Modeling: The simple video modeling of actions, events and proper behaviors. Generalization: The grouping of objects, actions or events in their proper category or sequence. Repetition: Repetitive presentation of materials, in a variety of approaches, to reiterate, yet entertain. The Human Element: Very importantly, Special Kids features the human element - via host "John Sprecher," father of a boy with autism - that Newsweek calls essential to learning. There are lots of places to go in a day - some important, some interesting and some fun! This program teaches children what happpens and how to behave wherever they go. Visit a doctor and dentist and it won't hurt a bit. See how getting your hair cut is easy (and no reason to squirm!) and go shopping.

Great reinforcement
Amazing DVD. Dated or not, information, and the behavior teaching style hold true. Looking forward to the other series. My son has an audio processing disorder from diminished hearing in his toddler years, so this fills in many gaps he missed while we worked on his hearing and speaking therapy..... instead of having him exposed to more regular social environments.

Not Good
I purchased the DVD for nephew who is CP and MR. Thinking this DVD would help to teach speech and able to perform regular activities, but seems to be not useful and content is also not so good.

The Special Kids videos are good video social story videos - we have enjoyed the ones we have seen. They are a little dated but the information holds up.

Great Video Modeling Tool
The Special Kids Learning Series has been awesome in helping our son. Jack has autism ... but ever since he was very little, he has enjoyed watching movies where real people were doing real things. They are a great video modeling tool. I have used them often and would reccommend them to parents of special needs and typical kids!!
