Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 I looked at the website and they have videos to help teach about emotions and actions. Looks interesting. Barb -------- Original Message -------- From: Clouser, MA, BCABA Learn more about our videos by visiting the website: WWW.CEFILMS.COM Dr. J. Carbone, Ed.D., BCBA Director: The Carbone Clinic (New York): [The videos produced by Concept Expansion Films are a welcomed addition to Autism-related teaching materials. They are based on Applied Behavior Analysis research, and the format allows for recommended teaching procedures to be used. Because of their design, parents and Behavior Analysts alike can use them effectively to teach. Using videos to teach people with Autism-Spectrum Disorders can be beneficial, because of the reinforcing quality of movies, and because they more closely mimic real-world situations. This improves the ability of the learner to generalize skills, an often difficult task for the person with Autism.] Concept Expansion Films develops professional videos in accordance with research in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), to be valuable assessment and teaching tools for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental delays. It is the first production company to be owned by a licensed behavior analyst and to have all of its videos approved and endorsed by internationally-recognized Board Certified Behavior Analysts. What makes our videos so innovative? 1. They are edited to enable the use of ABA-researched teaching procedures. Professionals as well as those with less experience can use them with ease. 2. They use real-life examples. Before our videos became available, teachers, therapists, and parents were forced to use picture-cards to teach labels for many concepts (i.e., verbs, emotions, social interactions). Picture cards display stagnant images, whereas video displays a more natural, accurate, and realistic representation of certain concepts. If you use picture cards or other paper-based teaching methods (which most of us do!), our videos will complement them and can be used seamlessly in your teaching setting. 3. Included with every purchase are data collection and assessment forms, so you can document the progress your learner is making. Also included is an explanation of the recommended teaching procedures (for those with less experience), as well as sample scripts for you to practice with. There is also a teaching segment on the videos, which you can watch before working with your learner. 4. If you use the ABLLS(Copyrighted) [Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills] at your school, home, or clinic, you will find that our videos complement tasks in the Labeling operant. If you use a different protocol to design your academic programs, these videos will complement it as well. 5. You can trust our video format to complement the curriculum in your clinic, school, or home program. They can be a valuable asset to your academic materials, because they are useful in both the assessment and teaching of certain skills. Consider including our videos as part of your materials budget. 6. Our videos are teacher-driven, not entertainment-driven, and allow for you to use your current assessment and teaching procedures with ease. Our videos have gained endorsements from internationally-recognized behavior analysts, such as Dr. J. Carbone (see endorsement below). We have also received endorsements from Speech Pathologists and Special Education Teachers, which further enhances the validity of our videos. School districts are also welcoming our videos into their classrooms as a viable addition to their printed materials. Autism-clinics are incorporating them into their teaching and assessment materials, and parents are using them with their children at home. The power of professionally-developed videos to teach and assess children with Autism-Spectrum Disorders is now available to you! Kelle Wood, M.Ed., BCBA Owner/Director, Central Texas Autism Center (Austin, TX): [These videos have been an invaluable teaching tool at our center. They have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of my therapists with their clients.] Thank you for your time, and feel free to contact me directly with any questions.
