Intricate Minds II: Understanding Elementary School Classmates with Asperger Syndrome - DVD

From Reviews: ...effective, invites empathy, and discourages classmates from bullying...excellent tool...perfect opportunity to explain that we are all very similar, despite our differences...

"INTRICATE MINDS II features interviews with boys and girls age 8 through 12 who describe what it's like to have Asperger Syndrome. They reveal some of the positive qualities classmates will find if they look past the “different” behaviors that kids with AS sometimes exhibit in school.  The program also takes viewers “inside Asperger Syndrome” with demonstrations to help them see things from the point of view of kids who have AS.

"INTRICATE MINDS III: Understanding Elementary School Classmates Who Think Differently" is another version of this program, with modified narration and additional interviews to cover more conditions.  Parents or schools focused on helping students understand Asperger Syndrome should order INTRICATE MINDS II.  Parents or schools who want a broader program that covers a range of conditions should consider INTRICATE MINDS III.  

If you have questions about which DVD is right for you, please call us at 336-608-4224. Some schools and other organizations order both, to give them flexibility to best deal with individual situations.
