VIDEO MODELING STRATEGIES
First publicized in the late 1990s internationally by the Autism Society of America, John Sprecher’s video modeling and digital media strategies for Autism Spectrum kids, teens and adults have positively impacted and improved 1000s of lives in more than 30 countries and 500 U.S. school systems. How can we help you?
HOLISTIC CURRICULUM
Our video modeling and omni-media strategies provide a multi-layered approach to reach and teach challenged learners in a holistic, positive manner. This includes vital developmental and life skills — for kids, teens and adults — such as academics, self-help, hygiene, social, behavioral, relationships, play, work, safety and more. How can we help you?
POSITIVE MESSAGE STORIES
Our positive message and social situation stories are crafted to augment learning strategies, encourage skills acquisition and create smiles with light, engaging narratives, illustrations and images. Enjoy sharing together with your Autism Spectrum and neurodivergent loved ones — or if possible, have them share with you. How can we help you?
POINT OF USE GUIDES
For many persons on the Autism Spectrum or living with other neurodivergent challenges, understanding the sequence of actions to accomplish a task — such as taking a shower or visiting a doctor — can be scary, intimidating, stressful, loud or impossible. Our point of use guides utilize a four-prompt strategy of illustrated cues, written cues, numeric cues and if you desire, your verbal cues. Perfect for all of our visual learners! How can we help you?
REVIEWS, PRAISE AND THANKS.
We have a 3-year-old Autistic son who has learned more from your programs than all the therapies combined! If I could point to one single-most useful tool in the progress of our son, it would be your videos!
Thank you so much for playing an integral part in helping my son with Autism to speak! He’s been watching the “Alphabet” for a couple of months now, and he’s saying the letters. Better still, he’s starting to communicate with us! Thank you so much!
Ever since we discovered your programs, my 5-year-old son, who was diagnosed with Autism, has learned to get dressed, tolerate bath and hair-washing, and to spell hundreds of words! You won’t believe how much you have changed our lives. God bless your family.
Our 3-year-old Autistic son was completely nonverbal when his grandparents bought him your programs a year ago. Now, Jake has a vocabulary of 50-60 words and loves your programs. Thank you for helping our visual learner able to communicate with us, teachers and therapists. Your videos have been a Godsend!
