Flummox and Friends
Jordan is an enthusiastic member of the Flummox and Friends team! She is a Co-Creator and Curriculum Developer for this brand new project designed for socially quirky kids who love smart and funny television.
From our website: Social and emotional development is more than just “good manners” or being well-behaved. It’s the fundamental ability to connect with and relate to others: seeing another person’s perspective, altering one’s behavior based on the situation, drawing inferences from cues and context, even managing the expression of one’s emotions.
Starting from the time we’re born, we begin to learn a set of unspoken rules about how to connect and relate to others. But these abilities don’t always come naturally - especially for those who have minds that develop differently because of autism, attention or sensory challenges, or differences that don’t necessarily have a label.
Flummox and Friends is designed to support elementary school children who experience social and emotional struggles. They may be already receiving support—inclusion, speech therapy, social skills groups—or simply fit the category of “smart but quirky” without an official diagnosis.
The show can be used either at home or in an educational setting. With curriculum goals (as well as supporting materials) developed by practicing professionals in the field of social communication, teachers and therapists can integrate episodes into their existing classroom activities or therapy sessions.
Viewers can enjoy our 25-minute pilot episode for free on the Flummox and Friends website as well as on two new channels! Roku users will find it streaming on The Autism Channel and anyone can check it out on a new internet and web-based platform called batteryPOP.
