Do you YouTube?

Looking for new stimuli to teach Superheroes? Want to teach Star Wars but you don't have the movies? Does your child love sea creatures?

Then YouTube may be the perfect place for you to find new reinforcers and stimuli. Tutors are using YouTube as a reinforcer by letting the children they are working with pick what they want to look up (e.g., Lego Star Wars, Sponge Bob, pufferfish, tornados). They are also using it for stimuli to introduce new concepts.

Hmmm...have we thought about using this for action videos? What a great way to generalize when children are first learning to expressively label actions!
