Movie Reviews of Spectrum Connections - Connecting Emotions
Movie Review: Good series for ASD children
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Emotions and Connecting Body Movement DVDs by Spectrum Connections for my 4 year old daughter with ASD. Overall, she liked the videos. She liked the music and tone of the DVDs. Both my daughter and I think that Ms. Elizabeth (the teacher) has an engaging personality and nice singing voice.
For learning emotions, though, my daugher and I prefer the Kibbles Rockin Clubhouse DVD to this one for the following reasons:
- Labeling: The Kibble DVD seems to use more labels (which my hyperlexic daughter likes).
- Transitions: Kibble uses an activity chart to track where you are on the DVD. The Spectrum Connections, bu contrast, has only one visual clue (a stuffed alligator) to tell the viewers when the DVD is coming to a close.
- Bonus Features: Kibble offers a sing-along feature to help children with the words to the songs. Kibble also includes a CD to play in the car.
Please note that, if you have digital cable, PBS Kids Sprout On Demand carries sometimes shows this video (under the heading name "Bounce") if you want to preview the format before buying. If you want to see the Kibbles format, you can check out the Noteabilities website at http://www.noteabilities.com/index.php?page=kibbles-rockin-clubhouse.
