Task

The producer of this video has been approached by a local university. The university has asked permission to use this short film in DVD format to help train teachers about students with special needs.

The producer has agreed to this request but has suggested that the film should have a few short notes to go with it.

These notes will be printed on the side of the DVD case. Owing to lack of space, there is a limit of 50 words.

What information do you think should be included with this DVD?
