Where to Buy

The DVD was made available in the US and Canada back in January. You can buy the DVD at: www.thetransporters.com/

Mood Magnets

I have seen a similar tool used to help teach kids with autism and asbergers to recognize, understand, and share their feelings & emotions. It's called The Mood Swinger Magnet Set and I have seen kid and adult sets available. Here is the link to the children's set: http://www.themoodswinger.com/kidsmagnets.html

Transporters video

I tried to get these videos two years ago directly from Dr. Baron-Cohen, but they were not available in the US at that time. I assume they are available now. Where can I get them?

Dear Nancy Shute

Dear Nancy

I did a PhD on web based CBT to help children which is now called

AnimalAgentz.com

We have support from UK and USA doctors.

Funding has been difficult (the NHS innovation hubs like it but not

sure how to help).

We are listed on The National Autistic Society to help children:

A major London hospital is slowly using our product in a children's

Burns Unit. We also have another specialist hospital who is

interested in using it for children when they undergo oncology and

chemotherapy treatment in the United States.

We are also working alongside a charity to enable children with a

short life-span to have a high quality life.

But Animal Agentz can also be used to just teach basic skills to help

children with stress etc. (When they are adults they might not

drink/smoke so much etc who knows?)

Dr Chris Steele MBE the famous TV doctor wants to put us on TV but is

choosing the right time. I have been interviewed on radio (New Zealand

etc ) and the press (special needs for children, moms blogs).

Recently Lord Darzi said he would also support it after seeing it demonstrated.

We are looking for support, funding and awareness.

There is a free demo on the web site.

Could you please contact me.

Thank you

Best wishes
