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. The video can be viewed on our website here:  https://sites.google.com/view/pr21-autism/
