"I cannot explain how
wonderful the "Dad" video is. When speaking about the videos at our
(support group) meeting this past Thursday, I told our group that I
feel that each family should own this video. When times are tough,
this is wonderful to pull out and view, as a reminder of what we
feel for our children."

REVIEW

I highly
recommend this video!
Asperger Syndrome poses special challenges for dads. This video
covers ten secrets to getting close to your child with AS and giving
him the support he needs to reach his full potential.
The program features Drew Coulter -- a young man with AS now
succeeding in college -- and his dad, Dan. Through interviews,
videos and pictures, the program uses Drew's experiences from early
childhood through the present to offer practical advice on being the
dad your son or daughter with AS wants and needs.
This video offers practical action items you can use to better
understand your child, deal with tantrums and meltdowns, make
outings more manageable and pleasant, help your child absorb
information and learn the lessons you want to teach, generate
support from family and friends, create family fun, find and
encourage your child's strengths, help him prepare for adulthood,
and more...
