iPods assist students with social interactions

Click on http://www.disabled-world.com/assistivedevices/ipods-aspergers.php to read about a center in Minneapolis that is experimenting with iPods and how they can be used to assist students with Asperger's syndrome in engaging in appropriate social behaviors. "The staff assisted students in the creation of a series of short videos and slide shows on how to react to various social settings. Some of them are a mere thirty seconds in length, such as, 'Let the other person talk AND change the topic,' or, 'how to respect other people's boundaries,' or,' Use your filter!.' " Let us know if you'd like to get started with your own project like this--we'd love to help!
