Coping to Excelling is a documentary and corresponding booklet shedding light on the topic of High-Functioning Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome in school-aged children. Narrated by a Mother of a son with Asperger’s, this engaging program allows the viewer to ‘see through the eyes’ of those on the high end of the autism spectrum by way of animation, re-enactments and expert interviews from such notables as as Dr. Temple Grandin, Dr. Tony Attwood, Jennifer McIlwee Myers and many more! Bottom line: This program will take these children, and their families, from merely coping with High-Functioning Autism to excelling!
The DVD, Coping to Excelling, is divided into 5 chapters.
Topics include:
Understanding High-Functioning Autism or Asperger Syndrome – a broad overview
The Family Unit – The importance thereof
Choices in Education – Pro’s and con’s of all methods
Bullying – re-enactments and solutions
Social Development – suggestions and tools from the experts
Join San Antonio's Jennifer Allen as she discusses the making of the film as well as helpful parental insights as her son nears High School graduation.
