Being Friends by Elizabeth Burns (Sydney, Australia)  4 Stars
September 05, 2009
Wonderful DVD full of common sense principles to help explain why children with learning difficulties also have social difficulties and the overlaps. This is for parents, teachers, friends and family as it makes understandable some common behaviour issues and offers good advice and understanding! Great resource!

I saw this on PBS by Sandy W. (Arlington VA)  5 Stars
June 21, 2006
Your interests should be fairly specific: you have a child with Asperger's syndrome or another similar pervasive-developmental-disorder (although Dr. LaVoie never actually uses these terms). If you have an interest in these topics, this is an extraordinary presentation! You can gain an insight into the minds of people who are lacking in the social skills that many of us take for granted. Highly recommended. Also read the book for more detail.
