Audience: Elementary school classmates and teachers of students who have neurological differences.

 

INTRICATE MINDS III* features interviews with elementary school students who describe how their neurological conditions make them think and act differently.  They talk about how they are treated -- and how they want to be treated. This program helps classmates accept and support others they may have been inclined to ignore or tease.  

 

*Please note: This program is very similar to "INTRICATE MINDS II: Understanding Elementary School Classmates with Asperger Syndrome."  This version includes some different narration and additional interviews that make it applicable to both Asperger Syndrome and a range of conditions such as Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and more.   While many schools purchase both programs, parents usually only need one or the other.  

Subtitles:  The DVD offers optional English or Spanish subtitles.  

 

Length: 18 minutes
