- The Incredible 5-Point Scale – Assisting Students with Autism Spectrum
Disorders in Understanding Social Interactions and Controlling Their Emotional
Responses
by Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis
$29.95  
In this DVD, Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis, “two teachers from
Minnesota,” discuss the highlights of their book
by the same title. They share their successful use of the simple concept
of 5-point scales to help students understand and control their emotional
reactions to everyday events that might otherwise set in emotion escalating
reactions. Whether it is inappropriate touching, obsessions, yelling,
hitting or making hurtful statements to classmates, use of the scale helps
break down a given behavior and, with the student’s active participation,
develop a unique scale that identifies the problem and, just as important,
suggests alternative, positive behaviors at each level of the scale.
