Special Kids: Getting Ready DVD
It’s fun to get ready for the day — do you know how to do it? This program teaches children how to care for themselves, how to bathe, shower, brush teeth and comb hair, dress and undress, with emphasis on tying, buckling, zipping and buttoning.
Teaches: Self-Help, Communications, Motor & Social skills plus speech, labeling, writing, reading, sequencing, modeling, generalization, and association to objects and actions.
The 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.

Response to Intervention (RTI) and Differentiated Instruction (DI)
RTI & DI: The Dynamic Duo DVD
Response to Intervention (RTI) and Differentiated Instruction (DI) are two powerful approaches for addressing the needs of all learners. They share many common elements, perhaps the most significant of which is their student-centered focus and utilization of on-going assessments to inform decision-making and facilitate good instruction.
RTI, as a multi-tiered framework, uses a problem-solving process to match the needs of students to research-based interventions. DI is a way to plan/deliver curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners. It is through DI that RTI can be successfully implemented. Indeed, RTI and TI are truly the “dynamic duo!”
This DVD will help you learn how to effectively differentiate instruction in TIER 1 (core curriculum instruction) and TIER 2 (targeted instruction) stages of RTI. A range of strategies are demonstrated, such as the use of flexible grouping, support staff, continuous progress monitoring and data collection.
Co-hosts, Lynn Heintzman and Helene Hanson, collaborate in this powerful training and professional development tool to present a practical and understandable approach that enables classroom teachers to practice high quality instruction that is complimented by targeted interventions.

Understanding Psychology: Mental Disorder DVD
What is abnormality? Using the case studies of two young women—one who has depression, one who has an anxiety disorder—as a springboard, this program presents three psychological perspectives on mental disorder.
Section one considers it as a bodily disease, identifying underlying assumptions of the biomedical model and illustrating the treatments it offers.
Section two looks at it as a disease of the mind, developing the view that the origins of some mental disorders may lie in people’s experiences. And section three outlines the basis of the constructionist perspective and the idea that mental disorder is socially defined. The increasing medicalization of behavior is also addressed.
