Review
In recommending [Watch Me Learn autism treatment videos] to parent after parent, I was overwhelmed by positive feedback. Now we are using them at the Helping Hands® Saturday Socialization Program to improve self-efficacy in game play as well as accuracy and initiations. Since videos in general are so popular for many kids, typically developing as well as kids on the Autism Spectrum, it makes sense to teach children much needed skills by letting them watch other kids that they can relate to. It is similar to the concepts we use at Helping Hands, basing social skills learning on the utilization of peer models. In this way, parents can use the videos to help teach their children how to emulate peer models. They can then generalize these skills to various settings and enjoy the games that once brought them so much anxiety! --Vanetta Larosa, Ph.D., B.C.B.A. State University of New York, Stoneybrook

Role Modeling is great
I recommend this movie for anyone who's child is on the autism spectrum. It's really good for learning play date skills. It demonstrates popular games that kids play like charades and playing catch. The DVD is done well as it keeps kid's interest while they learn at the same time. I like the way they learn social gestures and comments too, as this is really important for kids with autism and pdd.
