Videos'

Baby Bumblebee & Baby Einstein, Mozart and Bach. (These are good for any young child upto preschool or beyond depending on your child's needs.)

"Baby Bumblebee" videos' are great for theraputic language development.  My Son began repeating the words after only one week.  I borrowed the first 5 from our county library and since then we have ordered the set.

You may want to see their website, they have a webpage for parents who wrote in about how these video's have helped their autistic children: Babybumblebee.com

We also like the videos by "Baby Einstein".  We particually liked the Mozart, Bach and Vangogh (humoursly titled "Vangoat") videos'.  These videos are fun and stimulating for toddlers and infants.  Davey started watching these videos at 8 months and loved them.  He still enjoys them occasionally.  I first borrowed them from Cuyahoga County Library system).  You can reserve any of these videos' by going to the library website: CCPL  The Baby Einstein video series may also available at Walmart or K-mart.
