"Wonderful program. Never before have I presented an instructional video that has had so much immediate impact. My students really 'got' the concept that how others evaluate us is greatly dependent on how we 'present' ourselves. " - Kathleen Redmond, CA.
They won't get a second chance
to make a good first impression!
We
all
do
it.
We
quickly
size
people
up.
Within
a
few
minutes
of
meeting
someone,
we
start
to
make
judgments
about
their
personality,
their
character
and
their
values.
If
our "first
impressions" are
positive,
we're
more
likely
to
accept
and
like
the
person.
If
our "first
impressions" are
negative,
we'll
avoid
the
newcomer
socially
or,
if
we're
an
employer,
eliminate
them
from
job
consideration.
There are four basic things that make an immediate impression on someone else: cleanliness/hygiene, grooming, dress and attitude. The wrong impression in any of these areas may cause your students to be undervalued and dismissed. With the right impression, they will be given a chance to prove themselves.
With the help of our "Video Models" and our on-screen medical expert, your students will see clear, step-by-step demonstrations of essential everyday hygiene practices that promote social approval and health. Each module comes with a comprehensive teacher's guide.

"I
found
Community Man to be entertaining. It was funny and very imformative without being condescending, suitable for a broad demographic. If I were to produce a video...I'd do it this way!" -Kevin Kraft,
Development Specialist.
Champion of independent living and essential life skills!
Independent living requires the use of community resources and few are more important than medical, police, and fire services. Most students know that these resources exist, but few know how to use them to their full advantage. This lack of knowledge limits participation in community life and can be life-threatening in an emergency.
The Community Man series presents important information in a comical manner to assure student attention to specifics on how to make full use of community resources. Teach your students how to get emergency services and medical care—even if they don't have the money to pay for it. Show your students how to use the pharmacist as a health consultant as well as a provider of medicines. Instruct your your students on how to interact with the police and what kinds of non-emergency services the police can provide. Also, teach your students when and how to call the fire department for emergency and non-emergency services.
This program contains 2 DVDs or 4 VHS tapes and a fifty page teacher's guide with activity sheets.
