Learning social skills can be a complex process, especially for a child with an ASD. Passport to Friendship is an engaging DVD that presents a step-by-step approach to helping young children with ASD learn to play with other kids. It is a follow-up to the previous release, Embracing Play (see below). • Using clear examples, insights from parents, and expert commentary by Hilary Baldi of the Behavioral Intervention Association, this illuminating film for parents and educators demonstrates how to build structure and predictability into peer play to help a child with ASD improve his interaction skills. Passport to Friendship features several play dates, each with a pair of preschool children (one with ASD), supervised by an adult. These vignettes illustrate the tips and techniques to set up and facilitate positive peer play, such as limiting the choice of toys and activities, and creating physical boundaries for the play area. • The additional resources (text files accessible by computer) list tried-and-true peer play activities with simple instructions, from rough-and-tumble games to creative ideas for construction play, giving parents ample material for creating fun and instructive play opportunities for their child with autism. • 37 minutes, 2006. |
