The BOUNCE Series - Setting a new standard in video for children, November 22, 2007
This review is from: Bounce: Let's Go! (DVD)
I've worked in educational television for 3 decades, and in that time seen an evolution from Sesame Street & Mr. Rogers through TeleTubbies, Blues Clues and beyond.
But with the BOUNCE series of DVDs, a new standard is being set.
Ostensibly created for viewing by families with autistic children, I found the series charming, engaging and appropriate viewing for any child/family experiencing the challenges of new and potentially difficult, frightening or overwhelming experiences such as visiting the doctor's office, or meeting new kids at the playground.
Host Elizabeth Balzano is riveting and magical when she sings to the circle of children, and the children themselves - the group loosely resembles a pre-school or early secondary class - are totally adorable, and the child viewer will easily relate to them!
This DVD comes with a 7 song bonus CD, but would be a bargain even without.
I can't recommend this series highly enough!

Bounce Let's Go!, May 17, 2008
This review is from: Bounce: Let's Go! (DVD)
This DVD is one I would recommend heartily for parents of young children on the autism spectrum. I would have loved to have had this when our daughter was first diagnosed and we were learning how to help her go with us to the store,playground etc.
The DVD handles going to the store, broken down into seperate tasks like:finding a parking space ,helping shop for healthy food,there is also a way to ask for a break if you get tired or too excited.
This DVD also covers birthday parties and the doctor's office. Either of which can make grown ups cringe at the thought of attempting with a child who has autism.
