On this website, you will find information about the project members, how we conducted our project and our results, and a video for the caregivers of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder!
Abstract
This project assisted Abaceda, a therapy center in Prague, by creating an educational video to inform caregivers on how to care for children diagnosed with autism. The video includes general guidelines for working with a child with autism, building skills with the child, and the importance of caregiver self-care. To determine the topics included in the video, the team utilized insights gathered from interviews, observations, and surveys to inform the creation of a video script, development of the visual style, and the creation of needed graphics. After recording live footage and voice-over in Czech, the team then produced a 12-minute animated video available on Abaceda’s social media to increase the accessibility of information about autism for families in the Czech Republic.
