Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers

It is worth the investment. My son has autism and has a very hard time watching most dvd(s). Most of the techniques used in the video are also being used by his speech therapist. We watch it at least twice a day.

It is absolutely amazing to me, but my 2 year old with speech delay LOVES this video. She talks the whole time with it, and we get about 8 words a day out of her otherwise. She has learned signs that shell use either by themselves or with a word, and were communicating better because of it! Shes been in speech therapy for about 9 months now, and her slp sat with her and watched it during one of her sessions, and she was super impressed and is now recommending it to her other clients. Weve made it part of her routine at home, we pull out what we call the Learning Box that has specific toys for this time in it (shape sorter, puzzle, ring stacker, blocks, beads/ string, see and feel books, etc.) For about 20-25 minutes we play with one item at a time, then I put the box away and we sit to watch the dvd, which is also about 20-25 minutes. This routine has made her language usage jump by leaps and bounds. We still have some ways to go, but shes on the right path and I definitely feel encouraged.

We bought this for our grandson and it was wonderful. It really peaked his interest very quickly and he pretty much watched it a few times a day. He started repeating and improving his verbal skills within a couple of days. Id highly recommend it.

My 2 1/2 year old son is very bright but delayed verbally.He is all male...you know the type...likes cars, trucks,balls(those were the only words he knew before this DVD). In general it seems to me that girls like to talk but boys like to make noises.This DVD is fun for my son because it encourages him to make noises like with the trainchoo choo.He also is one that is ALWAYS busy and when I have had other DVDs on,he plays with other toys while half watching the tv. With Baby Babble he stops what he is doing, sits on the couch and participates. After a couple of weeks he has turned into a parrot, repeating everything we say, others say,things he hears on tv. He is now putting 2 words together.All I can say is,it worked for us and,because it keeps his attention so well, it acts as a 30 minute babysitter too. Good luck.

I have purchased Baby Babble - Speech-Enhancing DVD for Babies and Toddlers through Amazon.com. It was working fine at start but just within 2 weeks time it is now corrupted get stuck after a few minutes I am really unhappy about the quality. Its very bad.

I wish I had found this video a while ago. My son was watching Baby Einsteins and then Brainy Baby videos. They are very entertaining, and Brainy Baby Left Brain and Right Brain are very educational and engaging too. Baby Babble has added something missing from our video collection and my son loves it. The two therapists focus on speech production with focusing on their mouth, movement and placement of lips and tongue too. Also, they add sounds of the toys that you see, and the toys are very visual and educational. My son is speech delayed and within four days of watching this video, everyday at least once a day, he added five new phrases to his vocabulary and learned to stick his tongue out and be more aware of his own mouth. He requests this video every day, and I would encourage anyone with a child with speech delay to try this video. I think it is very well done and the video is clear and professionally made. Im glad we found this video. I would also recommend Braincandy.

We are looking for aids in helping our 2 year old grandson speak. Since he is entertained by good DVDs I thought this would be a good tool but he doesnt even stop to watch. Adults can use tips but it definitely doesnt seem to be an attention grabber for the child.

My son is 2 1/2 and barely speaks at all. He is in speech therapy but the once a week appointment isnt enough to really make a difference at home. This has really helped me, as a new mom, give focused lessons to my little man. I do wish there was a bit more on the DVD though.

Great product. The simplicity of this DVD makes it so efficient. My 2.5yr old whos speech delayed loves this. Hes not imitating the sounds yet, but the play skills he is. He has similar toys that appears on the DVD so once the DVD is over, he goes and play the same way which shows me that he is actually paying attention to the video and not using as background noise. Our family approves it and I already recommended to a couple of friends.

I am sorry I have to write this...but I followed the 5-star reviews (200+ of them) and bought this DVD and am very disappointed with it. My 7 month year old cant even watch 5 minutes of it before looking somewhere else (She can watch Baby Einstein ALONE for 45 minute to 1 hour with FULL/impossible-to-interrupt attention). In fact, when the lady/teachers face is on the screen, my daughter starts crying. I even tried sitting down with her a couple times and try to get her excited to watch the video. From a parent perspective, the toys presented and the music presented is so outdated comparing to Baby Einstein. Also, if it is a speech DVD, why are most materials about toys? I forced myself finishing the DVD. There is not much materials being taught: in/out, up/down, a few different vows...many toys being video taped in an unattractive way. On top of that, if you return an open-box dvd, you dont get full $ back. Its a waste of time and money for me. I am surprised there is no other negative feedback about this product.
