Running Time: 45 min

This DVD lays a brilliant foundation for learning how to have the greatest impact on your child's development. Before you can begin to understand and help a complex individual like your child with autism or the children you treat, it is essential that you first understand how a typical person senses, thinks, feels, learns and behaves.

It is a very quick and easy way for families and professionals to increase their knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of autism and  start learning some of the necessary concepts and terminology that you will need to know going forward.

It also serves as a wonderful introduction to the Autism Essentials DVD Program, showing you how to get the most out of this practical and fun program.

Created for parents and professionals - Includes the ‘Who I am’ DVD as well as accompanying training handouts

The Benefits of learning through DVDs

Benefits for parents:

1. Professionals often don’t have time during your appointments/sessions to train and educate you. So this training is vital because you spend more time than anyone else with your child and can therefore make the greatest impact on a day-to-day basis, if you know how.
2. It is a much more cost effective way of intensively being trained by a specialist in autism
3. You can watch these DVDs at a time that suits you (eg: when the kids have gone to bed)
4. It is an effective and interesting way to learn information (rather than through books) as most people are visual learners
5. You can view the material over and over again so that you understand and retain the information
6. You can lend the program to your child’s teachers to help train them and to help ensure that your child’s program is holistic

Benefits for Professionals:

1. It is an interesting and effective way of learning an enormous amount of information in a short period of time
2. This DVD program saves you the time of having to find high quality and effective information yourself
3. It is more cost effective than attending courses and taking leave from work
4. It's a great way of training other staff members and increasing their knowledge in a short period of time
