Coulter Video

This video is an elementary school version of the highly successful "INTRICATE MINDS" program designed for middle and high school students.

The program includes interviews with boys and girls aged 8 through 12 who describe what it's like to have conditions that make them act differently from their peers in school. They reveal some of the positive qualities classmates will find if they take the time to look past the "different" behaviors.

Without going into particulars on specific diagnoses, the video covers behaviors that could be associated with Asperger Syndrome, Higher Functioning Autism, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder and similar conditions.

The program includes "point of view" demonstrations to show kids how things might seem to them if they perceived the world as some of their classmates do.

Intricate Minds III can help classmates avoid the trap of ignoring or teasing kids who have trouble fitting in. Kids who understand the reasons for "different" students' actions are much more likely to accept them socially and include them in activities.
