Created to meet the needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), Marvel and Friends teaches kids effective strategies for handling transitions and change. Animated hosts Mikey, Mandy and Marvel introduce various age-appropriate situations that children face every day in school, at home and in peer groups. Through live-action vignettes, appropriate strategies are demonstrated by children in a clear and explicit way. Marvel and Friends combines precise modeling with music to create an audio-visual tool that enhances learning, provides motivation and reinforces positive social interactive behaviors. Video-modeling works best when viewed multiple times. Run time: 20 minutes Project Consultants: Hilary Boorstein, MA, Ph.D. Candidate Pat Hardison, M.Ed.
