Rylan Before & After Transcript Start Audio Description: A title reads, Rylan before and after. [radio playing] Narrator: These two video clips are taken on the same day. In the first part we see a young boy lying on his back on a swing. He is covered by a blanket and turning his head from side to side, but otherwise not moving. In the second clip, which is just minutes later, the blanket has been removed and Active Learning materials have been placed all around him. Notice how he has become extremely active, kicking his legs, moving his head and arms. These two clips illustrate how important adult expectations are and what a difference the environment makes in encouraging learning and active engagement.
