Editorial Reviews

Let's Go to the Restaurant models proper behavior and aids in labeling familiar items in a restaurant. Studies have shown videos to be an effective tool for teaching children with autism. This DVD, combined with our DVD Companion books, is intended to ease your child's transition into a restaurant atmosphere by introducing the sights and sounds of the environment and illustrating proper behavior modeling. Whether it is walking slowly in the parking lot, waiting patiently at the table, or speaking softly, we've captured all of the common events that occur during a trip to the restaurant. Little Pilgrims' Object Isolation Method focuses your child on a particular object while other distractions are faded away. Expert commentary at the video's conclusion will aid parents in using these tools as well as provide handy, every day tips. Running time: Approx. 30 minutes/Color

I purchased this DVD for my 4 year old daughter with ASD. Since my husband ahd I eat out frequently, I was thrilled to see that someone offered a social stories DVD on this topic. Overall, Little Pilgrims did a good job identifying the key points of the restaurant experiencing from how to order from the menu to how to pay the bill. Little Pilgrims also did an excellent job covering restaurant manners.

While I personally found the DVD to be a bit bland, my daughter loves it. Since she is the target audience, I would say that Little Pilgrims hit its mark. The DVD really seems to help her to make sense of the restaurant experience. Since my daughter is hyperlexic, she really seems to appreciate how the producers used labels in this DVD.

The creators of this video series really understands what autistic kids need. They are paced much better than videos for 'typical' kids. The therapist who talks at the end is spot on. This video series is extremely valuable for parents of children with autism. I would highly recommend all of them and their companion picture books which help because autistic kids are visual learners.
