Review
Social Skills-Building with DVDs: In my former non-mommy life, I used to work with kids with developmental disabilities. I loved the work, but found some of my most challenging goals involved teaching kids social skills. How do you go about introducing tasks that most of us learned effortlessly? While I had a few tools in my therapeutic toolbox, I do wish I had had this DVD to share with parents and teachers for students. --Review of kid, baby & mom products by Mom's Favorite Stuff February 2008

Product Description
Say 'Hi,' 'Hello,' or 'Howdy' as you come inside the clubhouse and sing along with Handy Sam, Kibbles and Miss Angela! The whole gang is waiting to share with you ways to express yourself using your voice and your body. Join Handy Sam while he plays 'Guess that Feeling.' Make a mask, sing a song and help the clubhouse crew figure out if he is happy, sad or frustrated. Later on, we'll see Selah, one of the clubhouse kids, get upset when someone tells her No. Miss Angela helps out by teacher her ways to calm down such as counting to ten or doing something fun to feel better. Go with Kibbles to his secret world where he talks and plays games that will help these lessons 'stick' with you everywhere you go! Are you ready for some fun? Let's go inside Kibbles Rockin' Clubhouse! Designed by parents and experts for children with autism, Kibbles Rockin' Clubhouse teaches skills such as greetings, asking for things, calming down, and identifying feelings through fun songs, peer modeling and creative visuals. The DVD includes over 40-minutes of parent teaching tools, Kibbles karaoke and other features. A bonus CD is included! Having a child with autism, director, Scott Leslie and his wife Ann were surprised to find few high quality video products that could address their son s unique learning needs. They saw how their son, Gage, responded positively to such shows as Blues Clues and Noggin and thought, Why isn t there something like this for children with autism? With this in mind, Kibbles Rockin' Clubhouse was inspired.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What a great resource for parents!, March 11, 2008

By	Breena (San Diego, Ca United States) - See all my reviews

What an excellent way to bridge music and soical skills with a fun and dynamic resource. Just pop it in and you have an hour of Music Therapy and Speech Therapy combined. What could be easier? I loan it to clients and all the kids are "hooked" within the first few viewings. It's great because it is something kids can watch on TV while you have to cook dinner, and you don't have to feel guilty about the kids watching a video, because they are learning.

I see a little girl with ASD who is 6 years old, and she requests the CD that accompanies the DVD each Speech Therapy session as a reward! She sings the feelings song and acts out all the feelings, and has generalized that skill with lot's of people.

A wonderful gift for all kids and families with Autsim.

Thanks Kibbles!

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves Kibble, July 15, 2008

By	C. McGrath - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this video for my 4 year old daughter with ASD. She is trying desperately to understand the different emotions and she absolutely loves this DVD. The creators do a good job of covering the emotions - happy, sad, proud, angry and frustrated - from how to identify the facial expressions to how to deal with feelings of angry and frustrated.

Overall, the Kibble characters are very likeable, the music is catchy, and the use of labels is well done. In the bonus features section of the DVD, there is a karoke section so that you can learn the words to the songs. A CD is also enclosed so that you can take the music on the road.

I also purchased the Spectrum Connections DVD on emotions. While both DVDs have their charms, my daugher (and I) prefer to watch the Kibble video. I am hoping that Noteabilities will create new volumes in the near future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expressing Yourself DVD/CD, August 29, 2008

By	Bonnie Sayers "autismfamily" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This was developed specifically for children on the autism spectrum by parents and experts in Speech and Music Therapy. It starts off with a nice jingle.

The tunes are really catchy, the video is lively with many musical instruments being played by professionals. The setting is a club house where there is a schedule board with a large picture card indicating what is taking place and they have a circle time. Kibble is the stuffed dog that talks and has his own section after each lesson on the DVD. This is known as Kibbles world.

The forty minutes goes by quickly. There are professional musicians playing a variety of instruments like the violin, flute, cello and drums. The best segment is an outdoor one where they sing about being calm, all dressed in white admiring colorful flowers in a field. Very serene like and uplifting with the music playing.

There are four kids portrayed in the movie representing all age groups and gender. They have a schedule board they follow which utilizes big picture cards. There are colored rugs, snack time and circle time.

It is perfectly suited for the recommended target age group of 3-7. The skills taught are reinforced with kibbles world, which is interactive having kids choose the corresponding picture or phrase that has to do with the lesson just taught.

A fun engaging and motivating DVD plus the CD is great for listening at the computer or in the car. Both are hits with my nonverbal son on the autism spectrum.
