Play and Imagination in Children With Autism
Created by Simon Baron-Cohen, Jacqueline Hill, Ofer Golan, and Sally Wheelwright
at the Autism Research Centre of the University of Cambridge in the UK, this
program (available for Windows and Mac on DVD-Rom and CD-Rom) uses actors to
portray over 5000 video and audio expressions of emotion. There is an "Emotions
library" where 412 different emotions are organized into 24 groups. Video clips
of people of all ages demonstrate through the use of stories, definitions and
explanations of the facial expressions. The "Learning Center" includes lessons and
quizzes. The "Games Zone" allows users to have a bit of fun while practicing and
testing their skills. Here users will find a special visitor -- the young actor
who portrays Harry Potter. This program is exceptionally well done.

According to the back ad, this book will (and it does; I like it a lot and so do my son's
teachers) help kids to learn: "how to intrepret facial expressions, how to recognize feeligns
of anger, sadness, fear, and happiness, how feelings are affected by what happens and what
is expected to happen, how to se things from another person's perspective, how to understand
another person's knowledge and beliefs."
