Dr. Temple Grandin - Autism & My Sensory Based World

This DVD offers an insightful and comprehensive look into the unique sensory experiences of individuals with autism, shedding light on how sensory processing differences influence perception and behavior.

Dr. Temple Grandin, an internationally recognized author, speaker, and advocate on autism, expertly explores how sensory processing shapes the world for those on the autism spectrum. Through her compassionate and informed perspective, this educational film provides valuable insights for parents, educators, therapists, and professionals seeking to better understand the complexities of autism.

The DVD titled "Temple Grandin" features a new presentation centered on the sensory-based world experienced by individuals with autism. This sealed product specifically focuses on autism and the Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD) spectrum, aiming to deepen awareness and encourage effective support strategies.

Key topics covered in the DVD include:

Creating a learning environment to accommodate sensory challenges: Strategies for modifying classrooms and other spaces to reduce sensory overload, such as adjusting lighting, minimizing noise, and providing sensory breaks to help individuals remain focused and comfortable.

Recognizing and accommodating neurological differences: Understanding the diversity of sensory processing patterns and neurological wiring in autistic individuals, and how these differences affect daily functioning and communication.

Distinguishing between voluntary and involuntary behaviors: Techniques to identify behaviors that stem from sensory overload or neurological responses versus those that are intentional, aiding in more empathetic and effective interventions.

Utilizing alternative and/or conventional medicine: Exploring a variety of therapeutic approaches, including occupational therapy, sensory integration therapy, and evidence-based medical treatments for managing sensory sensitivities and co-occurring health issues.

Assisting individuals with developing their talents into a career path: Guidance on nurturing unique abilities and interests that often accompany autism, promoting vocational skills and career development tailored to the strengths of neurodiverse individuals.

Dr. Temple Grandin has emerged as a leading voice in autism awareness, consistently emphasizing the strengths and capabilities of neurodiverse thinking. Her pioneering work reframes autism not just in terms of challenges but also in terms of unique talents and ways of thinking. She has authored several influential books, including Thinking in Pictures, which reveals how she processes her thoughts visually, and The Autistic Brain, which delves into recent scientific research on autism. These publications have helped bridge the gap between scientific understanding and personal experience.

Dr. Grandin’s inspiring life story was portrayed in the Emmy-winning HBO biopic Temple Grandin, starring Claire Danes. The film brought wider public awareness to autism and demonstrated how individuals on the spectrum can lead successful, impactful lives with the right support and understanding. This DVD serves as an excellent resource for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of autism through the sensory perspective pioneered by Dr. Grandin, making it a valuable addition to educational libraries and personal collections alike.

For DVD Player (North American NTSC)

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

  • Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
  • Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
  • Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.


  • SHIPPING:

    We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

    International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
