First words are a hot subject of discussion among parents. While it seems that speech happens overnight – the truth is, components of language development begin at birth (or perhaps sooner) and continue throughout childhood. Baby BumbleBee has a number of titles designed to boost language development. These are great for an infant or toddler, or for parents concerned about their child’s language development.
 

 
We definitely started our 21-month-old daughter, Hallie, on "entertainment only" t.v. and videos too soon, and, as a result, we noticed her speech development was slightly behind. I panicked until I found your website. I was afraid that because she was used to "entertainment only" that she wouldn't respond as well to your videos, but I bought the 10-Volume Set anyway. To our pleasant surprise, she took to the videos almost right away! She can say all 69 words from the first 3 Vocabulary Builder videos - she even runs around trying to find the objects in our own home to show to us. I just wanted to say thank you so much for developing such a wonderful teaching tool to help parents to help children achieve their best!

The following is a customer's response when we asked if we could use her e-mail on our site.....

"You may use whatever you wish - Jesse is doing so well because of the program that his speech therapist informed me last night that she believes that the Baby Bumblebee and my working with him has done more for him in the short amount of time than in the 3 months of her working with him prior to the program."

And, the original e-mail.............


"I would like to share with you a continued story of success with your products, my son Jesse who is 3 and autistic, stared on Baby Bumblebee in September of 2004. At the time, he was saying about 10 words. Since then, we have purchased the entire set of DVD's through your company and now, my son is saying complete sentences such as "Sit in the chair" "Sit down" "tickle me" "that's a tree, flower, dog or cat". I can't tell you how much this means to me. I even introduced your program to his Kids Program teacher who is a big "Baby Einstein Fan", after seeing how much the program is helping Jesse, she is now using my DVD's until the school district purchases them for her. The other autistic children in his class love them and even their parents are remarking on how much they are all improving in their speech. I have give out information on your products daily.

Jesse is counting (something he couldn't do before) - he uses a drum and counts each time he "bangs" (that's a new word too)! I would love for you to see the improvement everyday in him. It is astounding. His tantrums caused by limited communication have all but stopped. He interacts with normal children his own age at day care because he can speak to them. He is saying his siblings names, the dog's name, even mine at times.

He has a song that we sing together "Bumble Bee time, Bumble bee time, Come on get in your chair it's bumble bee time" I used to sing it to him on the way home from day care every night before we got in the door so he knew I was going to put on a DVD. Now he sings the song and chooses which DVD he wants to see. And sit he does, right in front of the TV. If some one gets in his way "move the bee is here".

Jesse works hard for his speech, but your product touched him where everything else failed. Every day he learns something, and every day I am grateful for the speech engine that put your web site in front of me.

Keep up your wonderful work. And we are looking forward to looking for your newest teaching tool!"

"..... first off, let me tell you how much my son enjoys your products. Alex will be 5 next month and has high functioning autism and apraxia of speech. When he was younger, the baby bumblebee vocabulary builder series really boosted his speech and language learning in an amazing way-- he gained 100 new words within a matter of weeks! His confidence about talking and "trying" his words skyrocketed. Then when he was a little older he fell in love with the math series because numbers are his favorite thing. Now when we play the videos, he points to each object and counts along. His teachers are awed by his math abilities, even compared to the other kids in his typical preschool. So now we're concentrating on emotions and social connected-ness. I bought the series that includes Olivia & Otis because I wanted the other two DVD's and figured it was just a bonus. But it has become my favorite one to watch with Alex because it tells the story using the same patterns as the vocabulary builder series, but also includes emotions and concepts like friendship and playing together. My question is this: Do you have any other stories like that? If not, are you planning to create more? Kids with autism could really benefit from watching a DVD like Olivia & Otis because it takes the baby bumblebee format (which is great for concrete learning and generalization of concepts and is set to calming classical music) and expands it to include some of the issues most challenging for kids like mine. Thank you for the work that you do and good luck in your endeavors! "

My daughter, Ellie, is 5 years old and has pretty severe autism. She is verbal but her functional speech has been quite limited. She loves "baby" videos (Baby Einstein, etc. etc.) but I have to say that the Baby Bumblebee videos have demonstrated themselves to be a cut above in terms of language development. Your videos are so simple and free from distraction, with lovely, enjoyable music in the background. She has taken many of the phrases she is hearing from your "Opposites" and "Action" videos and begun to generalize them all over the house. She'll walk into a closet and say, "I am
