A group of seventh-graders from Warner Middle School in Farmington Hills is getting worldwide attention for a series of videos they made to help students with autism.
The students are part of a team known as "Destination Imagination," and they chose to make these videos as part of a special service project. Team members include: Jonah Cohen, Elizabeth Hoy, Yash Mehta, Mishal Nizar, Sanjiv Seshan, and Nikhil Sheth.
The students worked together as a team, to write, edit and produce the videos, all on their own. They made a series of 23 altogether, each one covering a different topic designed to help kids with autism with things like holding a conversation, brushing their teeth and joining friends in a game. (See examples in the story above, and watch them all here.)
Typically families would have to pay for videos like these, but in this case, since they're made by these students, they're free.
All of the videos have been uploaded to YouTube, where students, families and schools around the world dealing with autism can watch.
