capture the abilities of what your son enjoys and many will too.

Hello all,

Does anyone else use YouTube videos with their ASD kids?

We use YouTube videos with my son both as reinforcers and as a

self-guided leisure activity. The actual YouTube website was too

difficult for him to use so I made him a little web page with links to

his favorite videos. He watches various short Disney and Dr. Seuss

videos, etc.

It worked so well that I created a little website where anyone could

create their own YouTube playlist. I thought it would be

useful for the general SPED community (and for anyone else who wants

to make their own video playlist).

The web site is called http://www.videoplaylist.org

You can see my son's playlist here: http://www.videoplaylist.org/pkf

The website is very plain and simple for now. I'll probably make it

more fancy over time. In addition to building a list of videos, you

can do things like create categories, set a background image, etc. if

you want to.

For now it's all free. I may ask for donations someday, but only if it

develops into something very useful for people.

Please feel free to try this out and let me know if you like it (or if

it doesn't work). It has been a very good tool for us. I showed it

to the inclusion facilitator at my son's school and she began to use

it for other kids in the school as well, which was neat to see.

Best regards,

Jeff

This is neat, Jeff. Although our aspie son doesn't need things like

this at 13, my husband is legally blind, and he might show it to his

lists. Blind people are always looking for simply designed pages that

their screen readers can handle better. In addition to SPED, I think

this would be great for anyone with kids too young to manipulate the

computer by themselves.

By the way, my husband uses YouTube daily, but he has never used the

site. He uses it through Google. He searches under " YouTube " and

whatever he wants to see, and a bunch of YouTube links get returned.

For older people who don't watch the same things over and over again,

this is another alternative.

YouTube videos as reinforcers and as a

leisure time activity

Hello all,

Does anyone else use YouTube videos with their ASD kids?

We use YouTube videos with my son both as reinforcers and as a

self-guided leisure activity. The actual YouTube website was too

difficult for him to use so I made him a little web page with links to

his favorite videos. He watches various short Disney and Dr. Seuss

videos, etc.

It worked so well that I created a little website where anyone could

create their own YouTube playlist. I thought it would be

useful for the general SPED community (and for anyone else who wants

to make their own video playlist).

The web site is called http://www.videoplaylist.org

You can see my son's playlist here: http://www.videoplaylist.org/pkf

The website is very plain and simple for now. I'll probably make it

more fancy over time. In addition to building a list of videos, you

can do things like create categories, set a background image, etc. if

you want to.

For now it's all free. I may ask for donations someday, but only if it

develops into something very useful for people.

Please feel free to try this out and let me know if you like it (or if

it doesn't work). It has been a very good tool for us. I showed it

to the inclusion facilitator at my son's school and she began to use

it with other kids in the school as well, which was neat to see.

You're welcome. And thanks to everyone who gave it a look.

Please feel free to pass it around. I'll be happy if it can help lots

of people like me (parents who struggle to find leisure time

activities for their kids) and anyone else for that matter.
