I am a Female with Autism the Aspergers kind from Charlotte, North Carolina. I
am being treated unfairly by Voc. Rehab, my job Coach, The group home and my
caseworker because my Job is at PRN As Needed status where they call me in to
work while they need me- do not want to listen to me about the fact I would like
to Volunteer or work Somewhere.I am the kind of person that likes to work. I
have always had an interest in wanting to volunteer at a Church doing something
like Janitorial work or Office work and helping program an electronic carillon
to play at certain times and special Days. I have a Major interest in Church
Bells-Carillons, Electronic Carillons. My Favorite electronic carillons are the
Maas-Rowe ones. I would love to be able to program a Maas-Rowe electronic
Carillon to play at certain times and special days IT WOULD MEAN A LOT TO ME.2
Churches I know that Have a Maas-Rowe Electronic Carillon is Dilworth United
Methodist Church in Charlotte, North Carolina and St. Lukes Lutheran Church in
Charlotte, North Carolina. I have had trouble with finding some volunteer work
because places library is on a Hireing freeze and will not take volunteers due
to this. I have some questions my questions are:
1. I have a goal of wanting to be able to program an electronic carillon to play
at certain times and special Days How can I get the chance to do this IT WOULD
MEAN A LOT TO ME because I Have a Major interest in Church bells-Carillons ,
Electronic Carillons?
2. I have a goal of wanting to volunteer at a church doing something like
Janitorial work or office work how can I get the chance to do this?

New tool for autism education

This is Karl Smith, creator of the DT Trainer, and this is one of my few blasts per year informing the autism community on our continued progress. 

Thanks for your support of the DT Trainer as we are now in over 800 school districts, 220 private schools and service providers, and thousands of homes.  I will continue to expand the DT Trainer to cover more topics and a wider developmental range (currently the developmental range is 2-9 years old).

However, there is another area of learning that is critical for our kids.  There is 15 to 20 years of research showing how video modeling increases acquisition rates across a wide range of topics.  Video modeling materials have been available for 10 - 15 years, and yet I was amazed that this powerful teaching method is impacting few of our kids.

Looking into this disconnect, I discovered that video modeling media has been released to be played in standard media players starting with video types, and now computer based media players.  The problem is that video modeling is not just about playing videos, but is about the management of the process.  Regular media players lack the capabilities to organize the materials to facilitate quick access to a student's specific tasks in a teaching situation. Trying to find and use up a piece of video is clumsy, cumbersome and impractical in a fluid teaching situation.  Standard media players also lack the support for task analysis (breaking down tasks), sequences, transitions from video to images, transitions from images to text, data collection, visual schedules, and many other useful features to fully exploit the power of video modeling across a wide range of students and skills.

I set out to fix this situation and created the first designed player for video modeling the Activity Trainer.  There is a short 2 minute video that introduces the Activity Trainer at www.dttrainer.com/atpromovideo.  This tool is feature rich being driven by both research and feedback from experts in video modeling. The Activity Trainer allows users to create their own activities, and we are developing a Skills Library that includes skills in the categories of academic, daily living, communicating non-verbal initiation, recreation, social and speech.  We are reaching out to video modeling creators for third party libraries which customers could add to the Activity Trainer.  We will also reach out to Universities and others for a community library.

Our goal has been to offer a robust, easy to use tool that makes video modeling practical for school and home and that is affordable for schools and parents.  We had to go way out on the limb financially to create this tool, but I felt that it is important for our kids to get access to the power of video modeling.  I hope the community will download our free trial and either provide feedback or purchase to benefit your child or students and to help support this work.  The work has been endorsed by Dr. Peter Gerhardt of the Organization for Autism Research.  (See our web site)  We have thus far released about 167 activities in the developmental range of 2 to 9 years old.  We are currently working on over 60 more and will continue to expand our skills library.

There is a short 2 minute video that introduces the Activity Trainer at www.dttrainer.com/atpromovideo.  Visit our web site (www.dttrainer.com) for more information on the Activity Trainer and to download a free 30 day trial.

I have a Birthday comeing up on August 14. I would like some birthday
cards and Stamps if you can do this please e-mail me at the e-mails below:

I am the mother of 2 sons with autism spectrum disorders  Mike is 17
(Asperger's Syndrome) and Sam is 26. Autism/bipolar disorder.

I am seriously considering moving near my oldest daughter who lives in
Shamong NJ(Near Vincentown & Tabernacle NJ)This will help me tremdously
as I grow older. Up until now, I have been going through this long road
alone. My husband died 10 years ago.

I would love to learn about the services in those areas for post
secondary  school (ages 18 and over)individuals with autism. Can anyone
help me?

Sincerely, Debbie Gies

PS Presently my youngest son is placed in an out of district SD. The
program is for the higher end of the autism spectrum. Pa. provides an
education until age 21.. Is this the same nationwide? How does NJ fair
with the past 12th grade age group?

Thanks, Debbie

Announcing Video Social Stories

From: Carol Gray, Mark Shelley, & the Special Minds Foundation

Hi,

This email is one of my few posts per year and is about a new tool to help teach our kids with autism and Aspergers.  I get frequent requests for tools to help our kids with social skills so here is a gem.

Imagine combining Carol Gray's social stories with the power of video for our visual learners.  That is what has happened with the collaboration between Carol Gray, Mark Shelley, and the Special Minds Foundation.  Volume 1 is the first in the planned series and covers basic social concepts & skills at school.  Future volumes will address a broad range of topics and target young children to adults.  The foundation has raised donations to help produce these materials so that the cost to the user can be much lower than otherwise possible for the product.   

The Social Concepts & Skills volume will not only be valuable for teachers, but also for parents helping prepare their children for school situations.  Additionally, some of the situations are issues for both home and school.  The product was designed for children with Aspergers and others on the autism spectrum, however it will also benefit any child with limited social skills.

Storymovies, Volume 1, targets students developmentally 8-12 years old and includes 25 stories based on 9 movies.  There are 2 versions: Standard Edition & Professional Edition.  Both versions include the main color version DVD of the 25 stories and a user's guide.  The Professional version includes a black & white DVD version that is used for children distracted by color; a raw footage DVD that is useful for additional teaching and testing purposes; and a CD with printable pictures and related activities for generalization, practice, & review.

Mark Shelley is a parent of a child with Aspergers, which is the reason for his efforts toward helping children learn social skills.  Mark and I started talking about digital video based social stories about 4 years ago.  Through much of his effort and sacrifice he now has this first important volume with more on the way.  The collaboration with Carol, getting donors to help fund the development, and him taking significant personal risk have all been critical in getting to this point.  I want to help get this in the hands of as many teachers and parents as possible by substantially cutting our margins and offering this tool at a 33% discount off of list.  The sales of the current volume will help fund the continued expansion of the series.   Please spread the word about this important work!
