Pleasantly Surprised to See Updated Electronics Pictures
As a BCBA who was first a behavior technician, I am quite familiar with this particular box set of pictures because I have used it extensively in the past. This box set is very helpful. It has a good variety of common stimuli in multiple categories including colors, all pictures are photographic images, all cards are the same size, and it has several examples for both identical and non-identical matching stimuli. However, this box set has always been far from perfect. Those who are familiar with it may think of the pictures of electronics in particular especially the phone and the cassette tape. I was very pleasantly surprised when I received my box of pictures this morning to find the electronics section updated. The computer is now a laptop, the TV is fairly thin, and an MP3 player and a tablet are each pictured. The main reason this box set still only gets 4 stars from me instead of 5 is that many of the other pictures look outdated in that some items appear to be outdated, like stimuli more commonly found when my husband and I were children than today. Also, it would be nice if this box set included pictures of basic human body parts (e.g., eyes, noes, arm, leg).

ABA Therapy
My son has autism and is now receiving ABA therapy. This was on the list of things that was recommended to buy for the therapists to use with him. I initially thought it was pretty expensive. They got it out and started using as soon as it came and the cards are wonderful! There are so many helpful cards in this kit! They use it for almost every skill they work on with him. Bottom line is yes it was pricey but the progress he is making with this kit well worth it! Would definitely recommend!!!

Very Helpful for Teaching Language
The flashcards have been great for helping my 2 year old with developmental delays to communicate his needs more effectively. He has learned the names of various types of food (raisins) and toys (car) from using the flashcards. He will sit and look at these better than books, where he wants to turn the pages himself and will not work to point out or identify items. Having just one or two to look at one time has been very helpful for teaching. I can also use these to give him choices between items (Would you like milk or juice) and he can touch or take the card of the item that he wants.I wish they were sturdier, because he gets excited about certain cards (i.e. balloons) and the card is wrinkled like crazy. I am going to try laminating them. I also had to laugh at the flashcards for a VHS cassette and a cassette tape. My daughter (5 years old) who does not have any language delays had no idea what they were, obviously. So an update to some of the pictures, especially given the price point, would be nice. However, I know these cards are the gold standard for those with language delays and after using them for several months, it's easy to see why. They are expensive, but worth it in my opinion. The box does have room for additional cards if you expand your set with some of the other Stages Learning Materials cards.

Updated Photos are Important
I help provide professional development on teaching language to students who have limited communication skills. We recommend this product in our training. I have used the Stages Learning Materials Language Builder cards for many years. This set has updated pictures, so the TV looks more like a TV students will see in their home.

Perfect for SLPs
I’m a speech pathologist working in a pediatric outpatient clinic. I’ve owned these cards for a year and have gotten a lot of use out of these cards for object ID, naming, discussing object functions, categorizing and describing. Honestly I like how comprehensive this is but I definitely don’t use every single card. I’ve also had to laminate the cards I use most frequently because they aren’t suuuper durable given I work with a lot of young children. I also think these would be good if you work with adults since they aren’t cartoony. Overall I really like these and they are very functional for my purposes. I like that they are updated with pictures from this decade :).

Awesome Seller with quick responses! Love this box set!!
Everything I had hoped for when I received it. The seller was kind to respond back to my questions so quickly about if these were the newest release box set. Indeed they are. They're the 2015 release. Now the only difference from this box set and the older version is that it includes 4 extra flashcards. The box is redesigned and you also get a card about an app they have. I'm really impressed and excited to get started with my son who is 3yrs old with 22q deletion syndrome.

Very sturdy and durable
ABA Therapists using with child on the Autism spectrum. I too am learning how to use them with him. Very sturdy and durable. Need to have them come with removable labels for the back to write when mastered, what the request is, "i.e. is it a tool, a toy, a vehicle, etc. and so forth.
