Since YouTube can occasionally show unpredictable content prior to the selected video, I recommend previewing videos using the YouTube links (during lesson planning). Then, download the videos you plan to show students by clicking on the "Video Download Link" for your selected video.

You Ought To Know (6:18) This video is about 6 minutes but very informative. I really like that there is a child with autism in the video—and that the child is smart but visibly different in behaviors. Though the video is a bit longer, I think it will hold the attention of younger grades because of the child in the video. |
