 Good series for ASD children July 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased the Emotions and Connecting Body Movement DVDs by Spectrum Connections for my 4 year old daughter with ASD. Overall, she liked the videos. She liked the music and tone of the DVDs. Both my daughter and I think that Ms. Elizabeth (the teacher) has an engaging personality and nice singing voice.
For learning emotions, though, my daugher and I prefer the Kibbles Rockin Clubhouse DVD to this one for the following reasons:
- Labeling: The Kibble DVD seems to use more labels (which my hyperlexic daughter likes).
- Transitions: Kibble uses an activity chart to track where you are on the DVD. The Spectrum Connections, bu contrast, has only one visual clue (a stuffed alligator) to tell the viewers when the DVD is coming to a close.
- Bonus Features: Kibble offers a sing-along feature to help children with the words to the songs. Kibble also includes a CD to play in the car.
Please note that, if you have digital cable, PBS Kids Sprout On Demand carries sometimes shows this video (under the heading name "Bounce") if you want to preview the format before buying. If you want to see the Kibbles format, you can check out the Noteabilities website at http://www.noteabilities.com/index.php?page=kibbles-rockin-clubhouse.

 Don't understand October 23, 2007

I don't understand, but my son who is on the spectrum loved this video, but after watching a couple of days he became very high strung and hyper. I am a very picky mother about what I let him watch. Usually we stick to the low key scholastic videos and a couple of Disney movies. I don't know why, but it just seemed that after viewing he would drift off into his world of echolalia.
It is a very cute video, very short, which may be the problem because he wanted to watch it over and over again. Just wanted to share this in case your son or daughter is similar. I don't normally do reviews, but I felt strongly enough to write this one.
Very engaging! * Great for kids on the spectrum* July 12, 2007
