NoteAbilities & Kibbles Rockin' Clubhouse

Posted on May 12, 2009

Produced by NoteAbilities Inc., Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse is a series of DVDs that helps teach children with ASD social techniques and self-care through music, games and stories. Featuring Kibbles, a loveable dog puppet, his friends Handy Sam and Angela, and a cast of engaging, adorable children, the series teaches basic life skills through true-to-life examples and situations, interactive exercises and original songs even the youngest viewers can sing-a-long to. Fostering a child’s independence and catering to their strengths, Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse is an excellent tool to help them develop into confident individuals.

Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse came about when parents Scott and Ann Leslie noticed their son, who is autistic, responded to such programs as Blue’s Clues, but they couldn’t find any other products in the children’s media market that specifically captured his interests in a fun and motivating way. So they met with experts in speech therapy and music therapy, who were also active in the autism community, to create a company to produce products for children on the autism spectrum.

Together, with project consultants Angela Neve, MT-BC, NMT (who stars as Angela in the program), and Julie Guy, M.M., MT-BC, NMT, co-founders of The Music Therapy Center of California in San Diego; and Kara Dodds, M.S., CCC-SLP, a Speech-Language Pathologist and owner of a pediatric speech therapy company in San Diego, they formed NoteAbilities, Inc. to create and produce Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse.

Each Kibbles Rockin’ Clubhouse DVD is available for a suggested retail price of $24.95 and includes a free CD of the original music and sing-along songs, which can be sung Karaoke style. Recommended for ages 2-7, the programs are approximately 42 minutes each. Special features include a bonus Kibbles World segment; Kibbles Karaoke; a discussion about the “Therapeutic Benefits” of speech and music therapy; “Parent Teaching Tools,” a how-to guide; and “Parents’ Inspiration,” a message from creators Scott and Ann Leslie.
