Aut-Erobics Review
HI Kari - have you actually used the DVD with your clients? or are you basing your negative review of the product on your own personal hypothesis? Keep in mind that you do NOT have autism... the DVD was designed specifically for kids on the spectrum i.e. the choice of music, the vocals that you mention... etc.
The aut-erobics DVD was used for 8 weeks for 12-15 minutes a day at the RDI School in Culver City and the kids LOVED it!!!!!! The sequence and patterning along with repetition and predictability are imbedded within the movement and music to specifically cognitively redirect left and right hemisphere brain transmission. Brain gym!
I suggest that you try the product before making such a strong negative persuasive case against it and in fact I would be happy to come to your place of practice and show you how to utilize the DVD with your clients..I am certain that the kids will enjoy it....and I can offer additional sensory integration strategies and skills helpful for instructing individuals with autism spectrum disorders.
And of course, you can always have your money refunded.... please return the DVD and I will be happy to issue a refund. I am the founder and developer of the aut-erobics DVD. I taught in a Mod/Severe SDC classroom, students with autism, for over 10 years in the LAUSD, have a BA in dance as well as a masters in Special Education: Moderate/Severe and Multiple Disabilities, and currently offer Autism Movement Therapy classes on Saturday mornings as well as run my own private practice.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Aut-Erobics Overview
As seen on abc7 Eyewitness News! NEUROPLASTICITY through SENSORY INTEGRATION"Joanne Lara knows that the brain needs the body to move. In this DVD she gives the gift of her artful knowledge to children with autism, helping them to fulfill their wholeness and their potential." - Martha R. Herbert, Ph.D., M.D. Professor Neurology Harvard Medical School(Portion of sales to Dr Martha Herbert & TRANSCEND Foundation @ MassGeneral Hospital for Children)Sensory Integration - One father of a child with autism say's, "Wow. My son loves this DVD." Autism Movement Therapy is the first simple, FUN step-by-step instructional DVD to integrate music and movement for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. Autism Movement Therapy combines structured movement with music connecting the left & right hemispheres of the brain for a 'whole brain' cognitive re-mapping approach. This innovative and creative new approach is the perfect solution for working with your child or student and assisting in the way that they interact with their peers, works in groups, and perform academically in the classroom.AMT allows you and your child/student to creatively move to structured sequences and patterns in your own home, office or in a classroom for just 15 minutes a day, 2-3 times a week in order to see results. AMT is a natural strategy for students with limited speech and language communication skills because they are able to express themselves through music and dance and at the same time experience the thrill of actually moving their bodies through space.Research studies indicate that the bridge between the left and right hemispheres when strengthened allows information to be transmitted that otherwise is not being processed. Bridging the two sides of the brain to increase cognitive processing assimilation or ' WAKING UP THE BRAIN' is the ultimate goal of Autism Movement Therapy.
