Child First created a series of "Able Individual" videos. They are fairly affordable for a specialty product -- each.
They cover the topics of dressing, hygiene and chores, but I wasn't very impressed by the video clips for those particular videos.
However, the 3 videos covering wh- questions looked very useful.
Here's their web address:
looks good! A bit pricey but what isn't?!
We are about to teach Jaden this right now. She knows "where?", but not the others.
Norway Mom, what age would these videos be appropriate for? Would the videos be entertaining for a 3.4 year old?I don't have these videos myself, and they don't mention an age-group on their website. However, based on the video clip, I'd say they'd be appropriate for a 3.4 year old, depending on how the child's language skills were. The props are kid-friendly, for example the clip from the "where" questions dvd, showed a fishbowl and a rubber duck.
I don't know how "entertaining" it would be. I'd describe it more as kid-friendly education, but again, that's just based on the very short clip.
Different milestone lists might vary on this, but I found one that said kids should be asking wh- questions at age 4, and answering wh- questions at age 5.

Seems weird that asking comes before answering, but maybe that early "why?" phase is sort of "echolalic", experimenting with a language pattern without a complete understanding of what the wh- words mean.
Does anybody know the milestone for "wh" words for typical kids?How about holiday gift ideas. Also, we love the Buddy Bear books for WH quesitons. They have software as well at Linguisystems. My son loves the books. They have a colorform buddy bear or prop for each page. They have about 4 other sets to address other areas.

These are awesome resources. It is so timely for us over here. I have been concerned about play skills. We currently have no social group/play group so this is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
