Annapolis, MD -- The Maryland Anne Arundel County Public School system has recommended Coulter Video's "INTRICATE MINDS III: Understanding Elementary School Classmates Who Think Differently" DVD in their new Autism and Asperger Syndrome awareness and social skills training guide. The guide is called, "Building Bridges - A Multidisciplinary Team Approach to Supporting Students with Asperger’s Syndrome and Autism in the Classroom."

This guide is a package of information designed to help educators, community members, parents and peers understand and support students living with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). The guide also includes sample lesson plans and other materials crafted to help students with ASDs improve their social skills and interact positively with others.

The school system will be offering the guide for sale to other school systems via its www.aacps.org website beginning on or about November 21, 2008. The guide recommends that the Intricate Minds III DVD be purchased separately and used with the Building Bridges materials. Schools interested in further information about "Building Bridges" should contact Laura Phipps by email at Lphipps1@AACPS.org.
