Excellent video for my students in my life skills special ed classroom. The pacing and concepts are taught well, while not being too juvenile.

This kids really liked this one. It was a great video that really explained hygiene and I liked the CATCH acronym

This video was perfect for furthering our class discussion on "hygiene". As a high school special education teacher, the level was appropriate for my students, and the actors were similar in age to my students, so they were able to connect with them. This is exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you!
