Special Kids Speech & Skill Development Video Modeling Therapies Introduces New, Improved Website










(PRWEB) July 30, 2004

Special Kids Speech & Skill Development Resources, creator of the world’s original video modeling programs specifically for pre-schoolers to teens with developmental, cognitive and learning disabilities, announces the launch of a new website at http://www.special-kids.com.

According to John Sprecher, founder of Special Kids, the new website “offers our many clients around the world — boys and girls with developmental disabilities, their parents and loved ones, therapists, teachers, caregivers, health care providers, libraries, schools and more — access to many exciting new products, services, research, experience sharing and information about educating pre-schoolers, children and teens with autism spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, hyperlexia and other learning challenges.”

The new website features the following exciting, effective new products and services:

• Special Kids Speech & Skill Development Video Modeling Programs” (dvd format). Previously available only in vhs format, a total of 10 effective Special Kids programs are now available in dvd. A recent Exceptional Parent magazine review called the programs outstanding at teaching “what to expect and how to behave, plus relevant language skills such as labeling, writing, reading and sequencing.” The reviewers concluded that Special Kids Programs are “ fun and entertaining — great for all kids!”

• Video Modeling Research. A new section presents a wide variety of clinical research that demonstrates the effectiveness of video modeling, as pioneered by Special Kids, in teaching pre-schoolers to teens with learning disabilities.

• Look-‘N’-Learn Interactive Flashcards”. New highly visual computer software programming that serves as both interactive and printable flashcards.

• Step-by-Step Behavior Models”. New illustrated, laminated sequencing cards that can help special learners acquire positive social skills in their environment.

• Positive Message Lesson Stories”. Everything from picture books (autographed on request) to downloadable stories, by Special Kids founder and award-winning writer John Sprecher.

• Ruby C. Williams Signature Series Funwear”. Acclaimed southern folk artist Ruby C. Williams puts her colorful artistic impressions to Special Kids’ positive messages for children and parents.

• Parent Praise. A chance for others to read about the positive experiences they and their children with disabilities have had, learning from Special Kids.

Founded in 1993, the development of Special Kids was based on the success that Sprecher’s son demonstrated in acquiring speech, self-help and social skills through personal videos Sprecher made for his son. As other children with developmental disabilities in the local community also acquired skills by watching these “home programs,” Sprecher was encouraged to tell his story. Following an article in an Autism Society of America publication, Sprecher received more than 300 letters from around the world from excited parents, therapists and teachers — all encouraging him to produce a series of video modeling programs for their “highly visual” children with disabilities. Encouraged by this response, Special Kids Speech & Skill Development Video Modeling Programs was launched, and is now helping children and teens in more than 30 countries (1/6th of the world!) and 500 U.S. school systems. Confirming Sprecher’s hunch, university and hospital studies have subsequently concluded that video modeling can be a highly effective strategy for teaching children and teens with disabilities speech, writing, reading, social, self-help, play and other skills.

Special Kids Speech & Skill Development Resources also offers review samples available by request. For more information, visit http://www.special-kids.com, e-mail info@special-kids.com or call 1-800-KIDS-153.

Agile Sciences enters technology development and commercialization agreement with SePRO Corp.










Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) October 12, 2009

As the population increases, the need to preserve, protect and enhance our urban green spaces will also increase.    Managers of urban green spaces such as golf courses, commercial and residential lawns and landscapes, parks, nurseries and greenhouses are seeking ways to manage their turf and ornamental crops by utilizing less agronomic inputs, including water, fertilizers and plant protection products.

Agile Sciences’ proprietary compound, Agilyte™, has been shown to be effective in dispersing biofilms, which grow on all plants and can sometimes act as shields against the entry of desirable plant protection products. Under this agreement, SePRO, a leader in the Turf Growth Regulator market, and a recognized expert in Greenhouse / Ornamental crop production, will validate the compound’s efficacy, develop the compound composition and potential product combinations, and then retain an exclusive world-wide license for the Agile Sciences technology for products sold in the Turf and Ornamental markets.

According to Agile Sciences’ President and cofounder Dr. Christian Melander, “This agreement between Agile Sciences and SePRO represents a major step forward in developing Agilyte™ for Turf and Ornamental markets, and we are excited to be working with SePRO on this application.”

The company was founded in 2007 by Professors Christian Melander and John Cavanagh of North Carolina State University (NCSU) to provide commercial solutions to those industries plagued by the effects of biofilms. The company’s proprietary compound was derived from the Agelas conifera sea sponge and has been shown to be effective in dispersing biofilms.

New ?Coastline Critters? Episode Reinforces the Importance of Hands-On Learning in Early Childhood Development

New ‘Coastline Critters’ Episode Reinforces the Importance of Hands-On Learning in Early Childhood Development










Gloucester, MA (PRWEB) October 20, 2010

Since its launch, The Adventures of Scuba Jack series has taken a unique approach to early childhood learning and development by keenly focusing on interactive, multi-dimensional content designed to engage pre-schoolers in the learning process. In “Coastline Critters,” the most recent episode in the series, the creator continues to reinforce the importance of hands-on learning by pairing engaging, educational video with hands-on exercises and activities to boost comprehension and retention and cultivate a love for learning.

According to a study conducted at Purdue University, as well as research by leading educators across the U.S., hands-on learning promotes higher levels of engagement and comprehension and a deeper understanding of concepts. As a result, pre-schoolers exposed to hands-on learning are more likely to excel and become successful learners in kindergarten and beyond.

“As teachers, we can tell our students how to fix a car or we can bring them to a garage to show them how to fix a car – which do you think is better?” said Beth Costanzo, preschool owner and creator of The Adventures of Scuba Jack. “With the advent of the No Child Left Behind Act and other initiatives, educators have become focused on teaching kids to take tests, which promotes rote memorization rather than long-term learning. The hands-on approach is key to not only helping children of all ages boost retention, but also develop a love for learning.”

Newly released “Coastline Critters” is the second episode in The Adventures of Scuba Jack, a groundbreaking series that explores ocean life with the help of a cast of colorful characters. By design, the series delivers engaging, informative and fun content that promotes the processes of exploring, experimenting and inquiring. All episodes are accompanied by nearly 30 craft activities, worksheets and reading materials that can be downloaded free from the show’s website.

The hands-on activities, along with the video, help to increase creativity, skill proficiency, communication skills, independent thinking and reading readiness among pre-school age children. In addition to preparing pre-schoolers for academic success, The Adventures of Scuba Jack series also equips parents with the tools and resources they need to become active participants in their children’s academic development.

“The experiences gleaned during the years before kindergarten greatly impact pre-schoolers’ attitudes toward formal schooling, and form their foundation for future success in education,” said Costanzo. “So it’s extremely important that parents and educators expose children to hands-on learning experiences as early and often as possible to begin charting a course of excellence.”

To purchase “Coastline Critters” or other episodes in the series, and to download the accompanying worksheets and activities, visit http://www.adventuresofscubajack.com. The episodes are suggested for children ages 2-6. The website also offers learning activity books, “Dinosaurs”, “Fairies”, “Oceans”, “Pirates” and “Rainforests” as well as other educational products and materials.

A hands-on learning tip sheet and featured craft activity is available to the media for publication. To request a copy, contact Beth Costanzo at 978-491-0747 or beth@adventuresofscubajack.com.

About “The Adventures of Scuba Jack”

Created by Beth Costanzo, owner of a New England-based preschool, “The Adventures of Scuba Jack” is a series of interactive and educational DVDs that teach children valuable scholastic and moral lessons by exploring the wonders of ocean life. Each DVD features a cast of colorful and exciting characters and accompanying worksheets and other curriculum materials to reinforce the content and concepts in the episodes. Since the series’ launch, it has gained popularity among children, stay-at-home moms, daycare providers and preschool teachers.
