Laura Kasbar, a mother of 7, created a specialized filming technique that is showing remarkable results in teaching language and reading to special needs.
To help her twins, Kasbar created a learning platform called Gemiini, which offers educational videos for people on the autism spectrum and others with brain injuries, Down syndrome and other types of learning disabilities.
Every week we receive a couple emails from parents who want to cancel. The reasons for wanting to cancel range from technical issues to their child simply is not interested in watching the videos. With encouragement and some tips on getting things turned around, most of these children get back on track and end up with great results. We wanted to share an email exchange with one of these parents.
At first glance, they could almost pass for masterpieces by Monet or Renoir. But these impressionist-style paintings -- which are changing hands for thousands of dollars -- were painted by a five-year-old girl who is unable to speak.........According to Carter-Johnson, systems like Gemiini, for instance, have made an immeasurable difference to her ability to communicate.
“Brilliant!” That’s what Heather O’Shea, executive clinical director of the Comprehensive Educational Services’ Irvine center said when she saw a video made by a mom whose twins are autistic.
