FITTING IN and HAVING FUN:
A
video modeling tape for Children with HFA, Asperger’s Syndrome and Other
Nonverbal Learning Disorders
The video is geared toward high
functioning, mainstreamed elementary school-aged children. It breaks down
complex social interactions by showing the consequences, both positive and
negative, attached to how the child interacts with others and how they
choose to respond in social situations. It will make them aware of
other people’s perspectives in the exchange by showing what each person is
thinking during the social interaction. The tape highlights what they can do
differently to affect a better outcome. Watching the children on this tape
will help them to recognize and hold a picture in their mind of successful
social exchanges. This can help them come closer to duplicating it
fluidly in their own personal interactions.

IT'S SO MUCH WORK TO BE YOUR FRIEND:
Helping the
Child with Learning Disabilities Find Social Success
Drawing on three
decades of experience in residential schools, Rick Lavoie provides powerful
strategies for teaching friendship skills in the classroom, the homefront, and
the community. First, you'll explore the causes and consequences of "social
incompetence." Then, you'll gain field-tested advice on how to help
children work through daily social struggles and go from being picked on and
isolated to becoming accepted and involved.

STOP AND GO AHEAD WITH SUCCESS:
An Integrated
Approach to Helping Children Develop Social Skills
The host of this video is Dr. Stephen Rothenberg, a
psychologist with extensive experience in the field of social disabilities. He
begins by explaining the components of social ability and how they affect
relationships.
The program that he demonstrates is for a school setting. He
emphasizes the critical need for ALL involved to be on the same page, and acting
as "coaches" for the child, including bus drivers, lunch monitors, and
so on. It is imperative to reinforce the positive skill (prosocial behavior)
being worked on at the moment a situation occurs, and feedback should be
presented in a nonjudgmental manner.
There is a demonstration of a meeting with the school
principal and classroom teacher, and another with the parents explaining how the
program will be implemented. The program in the classroom is modeled, showing
students how the program works, followed by common incidents, which are acted
out by children. Dr. Rothenberg also emphasizes that the most at-risk times are
unstructured situations such as at recess, lunch, and on the bus.
An excellent integrated social skills programs for schools!

PROFILES OF SUCCESS: Successful Adults Achieving
with Learning Disabilities
A
very well-presented video, which covers a lot of
material in 30 minutes. There is a brief but very clear description of
various learning disabilities, and what helps individuals to be
successful. Three
individuals interviewed all have a reading disability, including one with a
reading comprehension problem - a difficulty commonly encountered by NLD students. The host also
has learning difficulties, is auditory and talkative, and selected a
career compatible with his strengths.
The video provides excellent insight into the lives
of successful adults with learning disabilities, who clearly struggled
throughout their educational years.
A moving and inspirational video!
