Advantages: educational, very new approach, entertaining

Disadvantages: none

Personally I think Something special is one of the best programs shown by ceebebies as if the director(and the team involved) and the actor Justin have really done their best to come up with something new .

what is involved:

It is a program that not only is meant for and involves children with special learning/developmental needs/challenges to enjoy but for other (normal?? .. not really when you watch this program) children to learn by watching it and interacting as well. I think this is one programme that brings all children on the same platform and bridges gaps.

Theme:

Its an absolute great watch as it involves so many catchy tunes that are attactive for little kids and shows special children carrying out normal day to day activity and it does make a lot of sense for similarly aged veiwers -like a normal day, dressing up for a particular weather,cooking/baking, keeping a pet, baby-sitting, going some place, taking a bath, a vacation etc.

Main attarction:

The presenter Justin acts out certain themes dressed up as a silly blundering clown ..this in itself is a pull for so many little ones...with this the background is usually white and everything else involved is brightly coloured and sooting to watch.

age suitability:

8-9mths -death really(I am still learning)

Net outcome for me and my daughter:

I have two little sisters in my neighborhood with whom at least both of us can inteact a wee little bit and get a few smiles and nods now and then as a reward, thanka to 'something special'.

My daughter loves singing songs with special sign language whenever she goes to the sure-start toddlers group.

Its one of my daughters favourite program and I think I am doing my bit in giving her a shove in the right direction and preparing her to get involved with every sort of people she might be meeting in this big world.

As for me , I think everyday it it justs hammers in the fact that there are so many little ones out there who are excellent as they are but I need to do a bit more for them and watching this program is just a start for me.

Summary: great must watch prgram
