Scope and Contents

New behavior modification technique to treat children with autism. 02:20.

Louise Degn's note: This story has natural sound of the classroom, which was a rare thing since there were only two sound cameras for the entire newsroom. Typical of news stories of this era, interviews are long. The parent story (Story 1) is 45 seconds long and the principal story (Story 2) is 37 seconds long. I'm not sure if the second story has been reconstructed correctly for this DVD since there was additional silent film left over. It is included under the "additional film" button. It shows a teacher employing a Behavior Modification technique to teach an autistic child to sit still and pay attention in class. Original scripts available.
