Model Me Kids® has broken the code on tools to teach social skills to children who need a boost in this area. The Model Me Kids® DVDs are an excellent resource for children with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities. The DVDs feature some of the best teachers around — other kiddos. My son enjoys watching them, understands the messaging and has a clear connection with the characters. Our special education caseworker liked them so much that she uses the DVDs in her classroom.
The DVDs can stand alone as a training tool, but I also highly recommend purchasing the student and teacher guides to deliver a comprehensive curriculum. The guides can help facilitate that ‘aha’ moment when your child finally understands. Equally important, the curriculum helps ensure that the child will generalize and be able to apply the learned skill.

I’ve heard a lot of great things about these DVDs and am planning to try them out with my son. His psychologist uses video taping with his therapy group, and it has been a big success!
Good to meet you.
Trish,
Good to meet you, too. Just a tip…You can view excerpts of the Model Me Kids videos and training manual on line at http://www.modelmekids.com with your son to see if he likes them before you buy them.
The preview served as a good motivational push as well. After viewing the demos online, my son couldn’t wait to get the full versions. It was like seeing a preview for the next Pixar movie! When the DVDs arrived, he was primed and ready to start using them.
