Sensory Integration - One father of a child with autism say's, "Wow. My son loves this DVD." Autism Movement Therapy is the first simple, FUN step-by-step instructional DVD to integrate music and movement for individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
Autism Movement Therapy combines structured movement with music connecting the left & right hemispheres of the brain for a 'whole brain' cognitive re-mapping approach. This innovative and creative new approach is the perfect solution for working with your child or student and assisting in the way that they interact with their peers, works in groups, and perform academically in the classroom.
AMT allows you and your child/student to creatively move to structured sequences and patterns in your own home, office or in a classroom for just 15 minutes a day, 2-3 times a week in order to see results. AMT is a natural strategy for students with limited speech and language communication skills because they are able to express themselves through music and dance and at the same time experience the thrill of actually moving their bodies through space.
Research studies indicate that the bridge between the left and right hemispheres when strengthened allows information to be transmitted that otherwise is not being processed. Bridging the two sides of the brain to increase cognitive processing assimilation or ' WAKING UP THE BRAIN' is the ultimate goal of Autism Movement Therapy.

Helpful autism therapyJun 20, 2008 I purchased this DVD for my daughter through the [...] website about a year ago. It did not have the word "aut-aerobics" as part of the title, but is the same DVD. My daughter and I do the levels together. She really enjoys this DVD and I enjoy interacting with her. We have covered the first two levels, but have not gotten to the final level. I hope the creator of this series, Joanne Lara, continues to make more DVD's in this series.
