*I like the third video the best because Caitie does a great job with pausing – giving children time to respond and giving you, the clinician, time to elicit language opportunities without having to constantly pause the video.

– I’ve used this video language prompt with my cluttering/stuttering, articulation carryover, and higher level language and grammar students.
