Manners for the Real World: Basic Social Skills
FROM REVIEWS:...the ideal vehicle...loved the humor...phenomenal...a must see for all students...a great teaching tool...instructional objectives are clearly outlined and amusingly met...easy to follow, interesting and helpful..

We produced this video to show students from upper elementary through high school how  to act during some of the most common interactions between people.  It features clear, straightforward demonstrations of appropriate and inappropriate behavior -- and we added a dash of fun to keep adolescent attention spans engaged. 

The program covers: personal hygiene, conversations, introductions, telephone and internet use, table manners, behavior for ladies and gentlemen, manners in public, serving as a host and being a guest. We devote a segment to each subject, so viewers can watch one subject at a time, or play the entire video. While we think just about any student will find it entertaining and helpful, the video should be especially effective with young people who don't easily pick up social skills by themselves, but need clear, specific examples of appropriate manners and behaviors.

A little fun can go a long way in helping your children add social skills to their overall life skills.

We call it "Manners for the Real World," because we focus on basic social skills designed to help children and teenagers interact comfortably with each other and adults in day-to-day situations.

Because we're describing, demonstrating and reviewing specific situations, the video is also attuned to the way many children with social skill deficits need to absorb information. Click here to learn more about how this video can be used in a program to help children with conditions such as Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism master basic social skills.

So if you want your children to be comfortable and confident in dealing with people, this video can give them concrete ways to help make that happen.
 

Our "MANNERS FOR THE REAL WORLD - Basic Social Skills" video features straightforward descriptions and clear demonstrations of the right behaviors for common social situations.  This can make it a helpful tool in teaching a child with Asperger Syndrome or High Functioning Autism some extremely useful social skills. The creator's son Drew, who has Asperger Syndrome, has always learned best if we give him a clear understanding of how we expect him to behave before he's in a situation -- and lots of positive reinforcement when he applies what he's learned.  We divided this Manners/Social Skills video into segments, so it's easy to focus on one set of behaviors at a time.  We recommend letting your child view the entire tape, then working with your child to repeatedly view and practice to master one skill set at a time.  If you approach each skill set in manageable portions, you can help your child build on each success.  Younger children routinely want to imitate older children, so we feature teenagers of various ages in our demonstrations to make them relevant for children from upper elementary through senior high school.  We also include interactions between teenagers and adults. The creators are delighted each time they see our son properly greet someone, make eye contact, and hold a conversation without dominating it.  hey hope this tape can help your son or daughter develop important social skills to interact comfortably with a variety of people.
