Features and Episode Breakdown

​There are three ways to watch Aiko & Egor on the Animation 4 Autism App:

1. Play Video - allows the family/child to watch the full video or any scene all the way through.  
2. Learn Together - presents the same video content but includes learning opportunities throughout the videos that allow the adult watching with the child to engage the child so they can imitate the video together.
3. Skill Building (coming soon) - showcases the individual skills as mini games for the child to practice the basic actions that are demonstrated by the characters in the video.

​Episode 1 Example: 

• The Play Video and Learn Together options provide access to view the complete episode ( ~9 1/2 minutes long) or scene selections (~1.5-2 minutes long).
• Play Video
  • ​Complete Episode 1:  View the entire video without Bubble Times (paused learning opportunities) so the child can watch the episode all the way through without pauses.
  • Scene Selections:  View each scene individually without Bubble Times (paused learning opportunities).
    • ​Episode 1 Scenes:  Snack Time, Apes for Shapes, Treasure Chest, Shape Tree, Twinkle, Twinkle
• ​​Learn Together
  • ​Complete Episode 1:  View the entire video with Bubble Times (paused learning opportunities) that include instructions and the ability to track your child's progress (Learn Together).
