Hi All I have come across this free DVD today from NAS and though it might be a useful link. http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=253&a=12240 Free copies of the DVD will be available to UK residents from The National Autistic Society's Membership Department - please complete our short online form to request your copy. Please note that DVDs will be supplied in March 2007. The Transporters DVD aims to help children with autism to look at the human face and to learn about emotions. The DVD is aimed at children from two to eight years, and the series of 15 five-minute episodes features the adventures of eight lovable toys with human faces, each focusing on a different human emotion: happy, sad, angry, afraid, excited, disgusted, surprised, tired, unfriendly, kind, sorry, proud, jealous, joking and ashamed. Stephen Fry is the narrator and each episode has an associated interactive quiz to help children learn about the featured emotion. The DVD also includes an information booklet for parents and carers. Behind the fun and colourful world of the transporters lies some of the latest research into autism. The Autism Research Centre has been working with Culture Online, part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and Catalyst Pictures to find new ways to help children with autism learn about emotions. Children with autism tend to avoid looking at human faces and find it hard to understand why facial features move in the way that they do. This inability to read emotions on the human face impairs their ability to communicate with other people. I hope that I have posted this in the correct forum. kind regards, Lucy. |

Thanks for that. A friend of mine has a little boy with autism, she doesn't have a computer so I've ordered one on her behalf.

I ordered mine in January. I believe that they should be available 6-8 weeks from then, so March time. They have an episode on the web site to watch. James loves it. |
