Success Stories

Once the students see themselves as successful "movie stars," they often begin to initiate their new skills right away. Jessica Roberts offers hundreds of ideas for how to use this motivating and powerful strategy to teach Classroom Expectations, Schedules/Routines, Appropriate Behavior, Language Development, Social Skills, Independent Living Skills, and Academic Concepts. This easy-to-follow guidebook will lead you through the process of creating your own Video Stories, with step-by-step visual instructions in Windows Movie Maker, PowerPoint, and iMovie.
