I think this is great! I
I think this is great! I work in a social skills unit with 7 children with autism and have been trying to find a way to get them to be more "social" with each other, and typical peers. I love this video and can see it working in our program with a few of our students. Unfortunatly we don't have enough aides to help out when going into the classrooms, and the majority of our students are low fuctioning autistic, so we have a long way to go. This video is very inspiring though!
Peer-Peet
Wow, what an awesome comment. I am currently working on a Doctorate and the focus of my study is the benefits of cooperative learning for students with high functioning autism. I am a parent of a 13 year old child with autism. I belive in the simply process of allowing children to learn from their peers. This video makes me smile and want to labor on because I know that children learn best when doing and from their own peer group. Keep up the good work.
