In this program, children will learn effective strategies for handling transitions and change. Animated hosts Mikey, Mandy and Marvel cleverly introduce various age-appropriate situations that children face every day in school, at home and in peer groups.
Skill-Building Buddies development videos were created to meet the needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Skill-Building Buddies programs show kids how to function in relation to other kids to bring about healthy social interactions.
Through live-action vignettes, appropriate strategies are demonstrated by children in a clear and explicit way. The strategies are then reinforced through music videos.
Skill-Building Buddies programs combine precise modeling with music to create an audio-visual tool that enhances learning, provides motivation and reinforces positive social interaction behaviors.
15 minutes. Ages 5-12.
