Among these are Faces of Asthma, an interactive video featuring Americans who share their thoughts on the impact asthma has had on their lifestyles, accomplishments, and goals for the future. The Immune Response in Asthma is a narrated animation that offers a unique perspective on the cellular basis for symptoms of asthma. Winning With Asthma is a dynamic interactive soccer game for young people. A popular electronic game is the basis of this experience, which highlights facts regarding exercise- induced asthma. A Is For Asthma, as noted earlier, is an interactive, bilingual video that helps children learn more about asthma as the Muppets sing, dance, and talk about asthmatic Muppet Dani's needs.
Youngsters also find out how to help when someone has trouble breathing.
The video was produced by the Children's Television Workshop, with technical assistance from the American Lung Association, and made possible by support from the Prudential Foundation. As a result, it has been enthusiastically received by both the child care community, the parents of asthmatic children, and, of course, the children. Spanish speaking parents are especially thankful for these bilingual materials. The exhibit will run through June 2000.
