Editorial Reviews

Social, communications, play and motor. Things around us and things we do, including telling time, seatbelt safety, telephone use and play. Speech, labeling, writing, reading, sequencing, modeling, generalization and association to objects, actions and concepts.

Special Kids is America’s original speech and skill building video programs created specifically for special needs children.

Boys and girls, from infancy through teens, with autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, dyslexia and other learning disabilities — from more than 50 countries — have all benefited.

First created by a parent of a boy with autism — which produced a breakthrough that generated excitement around the world — Special Kids speech and skill building video programs have been demonstrated to help many visual learners acquire verbal, reading, writing, academic, motor, play, self-help, social and interactive skills.

Special Kids 30-minute programs utilize concept-to-language association, object-to language association, action-to-language association, labeling, sequencing, modeling and generalization — video methods now proven effective in numerous university and hospital sponsored studies of high-visual special needs audiences.

Whether your special needs child is 18 months, or 18 years, active intervention is vital today — because today can be another day learning. And with Special Kids helping them, anything’s possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for teaching the developmentally disabled, January 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Special Kids Speech & Skill Building Videos - Things in a Day [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Several months ago I ordered some Special Kids videos for my son, Alec, who has autism. Since then, 'John' and Special Kids have become familiar faces in our household and ALEC HAS LEARNED SO MUCH! What I like about this program is telling time, buckling a seat belt, answering a telephone! Very simple, very effective. Please keep up the good work!

These are very good videos for kids with special needs, but the tape quaility is so poor that it isn't worth the price then ask, I am waiting for them to come out on dvds
