RE: All About Me Book-Sharon

[Guest guest]

Just curious, where exactly are you located? This is a very interesting

idea as there are many complex individuals in my son's school that I wonder

if they would be willing to do this with me. My son is very high

functioning that he could add to the video, making it more powerful. Each

person that works with him could view the different areas of his needs to

give each a full picture.

Can you give me more info? Are you a teacher/therapist/parent? Our video

needs to also include a complete background of where he began and where he

is now.

Here in West Oz, we do videos/DVD's of individual children with a

focus on communication programs, - these videos can also include

various other areas as well, eg OT that can be incorporated into

daily routines. We use captions to head sections, written in first

person of the child, then use voice overs to include any additional

information. We try to update these as required. Hard copies of signs

or other information can be included in package. We make these

available to everyone in direct contact with a child so that everyone

is 'on the same page'.

Yes, I will be in Miami and am looking forward to viewing your video and

Thanks for your help.
