Social skills training videos

Hi folks.

I thought I would share with you some great videos on social skills ideas for persons on the Autism Spectrum.
They a produced with a great bunch of professionals and persons on the Spectrum.
I feel these are the sort of videos which can relate ideas in a way which many young persons, who may be struggling a little with social interactions, could be very comfortable with and find enjoyable. Personally, I have observed increased social skills training successes when the autistic person is actually 'relating' with another person on the Spectrum who can share their ideas and similar peer related feelings and skills with one another or in a group.
The video below uses a robot (in a space theme) to complement several interactions.
It is terrific.

The website is called 9th Planet 

I feel it is one of the best sources of social skills assistance I have seen for a while.

Here's an introductory video for you all to have a look at - enjoy ;)

Birth of a Galaxy - Deep Space - seen from the "Alpha Starship"

Hi folks.
I have created a new video for the relaxation and enjoyment (hopefully) for our wonderful Autism communities, and anyone else who wishes to watch it of course ;)
I haven't been posting here much, though I hope that in 2014 this will change.
For now and I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas season.

Fireworks Kaleidoscope - YouTube video by Louise Page

 

I created and filmed this video with the intention of relating to music therapy, combined with a visual relaxation (and enjoyment) component. The idea, when viewing the video, is to imagine you may be looking through a kind of door/key hole into another dimension. This hopefully elicits a feeling of overall peace, tranquility and a momentary 'escape' from anxieties, stressors and so on. I also invisage that this video may assist in calming 'behaviour', even momentarily. This video was not designed with hypnosis in mind - not my area of expertise :) - just a relaxing auditory and visual experience. I have 'tested' its calming effect on a very small bunch of kids on the Spectrum (including mine) and they appear to instantly be mesmerized by the video/music - to their enjoyment. See what you think and let me know if you liked it (or not ;).  The music score is by the very talented UK artist Ricknanman.

Note: the video looks a tiny bit 'jerky' in spots. This is deliberate. It is supposed to represent 'yourself' looking through the door/keyhole, with natural body/eye movement and blinking in a couple of places.
