9th Planet Video Behavior Modeling Courses
Video behavior modeling is a best practice for teaching social skills to students on the autism spectrum.
The short videos tell the story of Tad Shy, a fictional character from another planet who is learning to take care of himself, find a job, and develop relationships on a planet populated by socially-minded “neurotypicals."
The videos are provided in both QuickTime format for viewing on a computer – both Mac and PC – and in mp4 format for viewing on portable players, tablets, or smartphones.
“The thoroughness of the resource allows the teacher/therapist to use it the day they download it. The excellent quality of the content of this resource makes teaching realistic skills possible for even the most leery of social learners!”
