Description

Description:



The Transporters is a DVD program designed to teach children on the autism spectrum about emotions. The characters are
animated trains,



trucks, trams and other transporting devices, each with an expressive human face superimposed on the front. They live on
a child's train



set, and come to life when he goes to school. Each five-minute episode focuses on a specific emotion, putting an
emphasis on facial



expressions that convey those feelings. The program is aimed at children ages 2-8.



What's Included:



The DVD set contains a disk with fifteen episodes and thirty interactive quizzes, plus a booklet to help parents and
teachers expand on the



program and help kids get the most out of it. The emotions covered by the episodes are: happy, sad, angry, afraid,
excited, disgusted,



surprised, tired, unfriendly, kind, sorry, proud, jealous, joking, and ashamed.



Research:



The brainchild of autism researcher Simon Baron-Cohen, The Transporters was produced in association with the Autism
Research Center at



Cambridge University. According to the Transporters website, "Researchers compared children with ASC who watched
the DVD for 15 minutes



every weekday for one month with children with ASC who didn't watch the DVD. They were also compared to typically
developing children who



did not watch the DVD." The children who watched caught up to their typically developing peers, while those who
didn't remained below that



level.



First Impressions:



It's like some sort of freaky Thomas the Tank Engine nightmare, with trusty animated vehicles sporting filmed faces. But
it does seem like



a good way to get children on the autism spectrum, who may have a hard time with faces but love those trains and cars,
to focus on



emotions. Watching a five-minute episode every weekday seems like a minimal time investment, and the opportunity to
discuss emotions with



your child in a meaningful way is always valuable.



Professional Opinion:



I asked Sandy Furia, a speech-language pathologist and co-author of T.A.S.C.: Tools for Achieving Social Confidence, to
try The



Transporters out with some of the children with autism she works with. Her review:



"The Transporters DVD is probably best for six to ten-year-old children. I liked that the DVD used a train theme
for teaching emotions, as



most of the children I work with were immediately captivated by the program as soon as they saw the trains. All the
children liked the



program, and most were able to maintain attention through one episode. The clear emotions such as happy and sad were
consistently



identified by most after the DVD was paused and reviewed a few times. In my opinion, some of the other emotions were
unclear and difficult



to identify.



"Overall, The Transporters DVD held the interest of the children. Showing emotions in action is much more
meaningful that in traditional



two dimensional photographs. Some of the emotions were unclear and the episodes were busy. It would have been helpful to
eliminate some of



the details in each episode and highlight the emotions more clearly. I would recommend that a parent or professional buy
the program with



the understanding that the adult will need to be an active participant, pausing and highlighting target emotions as they
appear."
