The tutorials below were created with a 14 year old adolescent with speech and developmental challenges who was frightened by a dog, fell, and became injured.  Since then, he has avoided going out or by places where he thought dogs might be present.  He participated in making these movies and viewed them as part of an exposure (anxiety reduction) exercise.

		This was the first movie, actually a PowerPoint designed to help this adolescent distinguish between friendly versus angry dogs. (click on picture to view)
		He also made a movie using Hollywood and Camtasia software by creating three scenes that showed one of the characters getting her fear of dogs. (Windows Media File)
	Finally, he used a simplified version of Progress Communicator (with parent assistance) to log in and report on his reactions to view the PowerPoint (above) or seeing dogs in the community.  This "real-time" data recording was helpful in understanding how he was acclimating.  Of particular importance, being able to show him his results as graphs (which are instantly generated by the program) during face-to-face sessions reminded this adolescent that his adverse reactions were diminishing.
