Kibbles Rocking Clubhouse (Volume I) October 6, 2008
I bought this video for my grandson who was diagnosed when he was two years old with slight to moderate autism. He is now three. His sister is four years old. Both of them love this video. It has helped the 3 year old mimic responses and try to use them on his own. He is saying Hi now. He was not before the video. His sister really can not get enough of the video. This video is appropriate for pre-schoolers without autism. Both of my grandchildren love the songs in the video. They sing along with the children in the video. The calm down song really does put both of my grandchildren in a calmer mode. The lesson planning for this video is excellent. I actually enjoy it and especially the songs. They are simple and appropriate for the activity that the children are engaging in. The lesson planning and the music was well thought out. I like this video. I highly recommend this video. I cannot wait for the next volume to be released.
Please make more! September 30, 2008
My 2 1/2 year old daughter was in love with this DVD from the moment it started. It is so well done and is perfect for any young child (wouldn't need to be on the spectrum). We own about 30 educational dvd's and this is one of the very best... hope they make more soon.

This was developed specifically for children on the autism spectrum by parents and experts in Speech and Music Therapy. It starts off with a nice jingle.
The tunes are really catchy, the video is lively with many musical instruments being played by professionals. The setting is a club house where there is a schedule board with a large picture card indicating what is taking place and they have a circle time. Kibble is the stuffed dog that talks and has his own section after each lesson on the DVD. This is known as Kibbles world.
The forty minutes goes by quickly. There are professional musicians playing a variety of instruments like the violin, flute, cello and drums. The best segment is an outdoor one where they sing about being calm, all dressed in white admiring colorful flowers in a field. Very serene like and uplifting with the music playing.
There are four kids portrayed in the movie representing all age groups and gender. They have a schedule board they follow which utilizes big picture cards. There are colored rugs, snack time and circle time.
It is perfectly suited for the recommended target age group of 3-7. The skills taught are reinforced with kibbles world, which is interactive having kids choose the corresponding picture or phrase that has to do with the lesson just taught.
A fun engaging and motivating DVD plus the CD is great for listening at the computer or in the car. Both are hits with my nonverbal son on the autism spectrum.
My daughter loves Kibble July 16, 2008

I purchased this video for my 4 year old daughter with ASD. She is trying desperately to understand the different emotions and she absolutely loves this DVD. The creators do a good job of covering the emotions - happy, sad, proud, angry and frustrated - from how to identify the facial expressions to how to deal with feelings of angry and frustrated.
Overall, the Kibble characters are very likeable, the music is catchy, and the use of labels is well done. In the bonus features section of the DVD, there is a karoke section so that you can learn the words to the songs. A CD is also enclosed so that you can take the music on the road.
I also purchased the Spectrum Connections DVD on emotions. While both DVDs have their charms, my daugher (and I) prefer to watch the Kibble video. I am hoping that Noteabilities will create new volumes in the near future.
Can't wait for MORE Kibbles! April 2, 2008
My 3 year old was recently diagnosed with Autism. At first, our Autistic son (Andy) was not sure he wanted to watch Kibbles because the only shows he liked were Thomas the train and Blue's Clues. Within 3 days Kibbles was his favorite video! He did not have a lot of spontaneous speech at the time he first watched this show (he was echolalic), but one day my 2 boys wanted to watch different shows. Andy said "dog". I said, "blue's clues"? He said, "Kibbles". I said, "okay just a minute" and preceded to start my older son's show so that I could take Andy into the other room to watch Kibbles. When my older son's show began, Andy said, "That's not Kibbles!" which was a pretty complex sentence for him at the time. He loves the music and has lots of "clips" memorized. He makes jokes from things he's seen in the show like requesting cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles like the little girl does at snack time in the show and then he laughs at the joke he made.
Andy has learned many useful things from Kibbles and we listen to the musical social stories in the car that teach him to greet others, understand his feelings, keep calm when he is upset and ask for things he wants and needs. The surprise bonus is that my typical 6 year old is learning these lessons from Kibbles as well. We can't wait for the next DVD to come out because the only drawback to Kibbles is that mom can't get the music out of her head!
