In the day and age of technology, how come BUSTER is not available on a DVD or as a web-based program?
A5. Language skills and learning skills are developed through interaction with other people. Learning to use language and to think involves engaging other people, especially in safe, comfortable, fun settings. The key factor in the success of BUSTER programs is the child-adult interactions, and that doesn’t involve watching something on a TV or a computer. Learning is an interpersonal activity! It is not a spectator activity. The learner relies on the older, more experienced family member to guide and engage. BUSTER programs are effective because of the interpersonal interaction.
