HI Ming,
I am a mother w a 20yo ASD with very limited speech. And could not really speak in full sentence though he knows loads of words drilled in by his ABA sessions earlier.
Though you mentioned your program is best for 2 to 6 yo children. I am keen to learn more fr your videos and courses to see how to help my adult son...as its really difficult to find speech therapy for adult ASD.
Hope your program can extend to answer and coach parents with adult ASDs to benefit.. :)
How I wish there are speech therapist like you available to run such programs for our kids 20 years ago.

Ming! Have you read the book “Dancing with Words” by Marilyn Daniels ❤ The best book I’ve read!! An advocate for all children learning Sign Language and the variety of benefits it provides. She conducted SEVERAL studies in multiple locations and with multiple ages and grade levels. A Great source of PROOF that Sign Language is one of the greatest gifts we have yet so many still do not know. Thank You for this video!! You are Awesome !!

My 4 year old asks by repeating what he's heard me asking him. So he'll frequently say "( his name), do you want a sandwich?" I've taught him to say "mummy, please can I have..?" But the problem is he will say the first way first everytime and then he corrects himself when I say speak properly. It's been happening for almost a year. Almost every sentence he says is a repetition. Even when he greets people he says, Say hello to granddad etc. Do you have any videos that can help?

My 5 year old is struggling with the same issue. He will not hold a proper conversation. He repeats often & I know he understands a vast amount of things but doesn’t communicate his words properly. Seeking any kind of advice or suggestions on this matter.

@jessicamckinney2344 my 4 year old has improved a lot since I posted this a couple of months. I have basically modelled the sentences he needs for conversation and it has helped to learn how to express himself. So for example if I said "what did you do at the park? He would immediately repeat the question back. But I started saying I played on...and then he would repeat the sentence and complete by saying I played on the slide and the merry go round. And eventually I would only ask the question and before he could repeat the question I would prompt him by saying I...so he knows his response should start with I. Once he picked that up he learned that that's how we have a dialogue so slowly stopped repeating questions and even replies with yes or no mummy to some questions. He still slips up now and again but I had to spoon feed the full sentence response for him to learn what a conversation sounds like. Almost like learning a script and knowing which part is yours. He was able to learn by himself how to use the responses for other questions like what did you do at the library? What would you like to eat? What toys do want to play with? And I have to say it have drastically also reduced tantrums because he can express what he needs.

Hi Ming, so if my child says ‘iPad’ then I give him ipad and then he says ‘on’ then I turn it on. What else can I request for them to say to make a sentence?

[@teeteexshebadd]

For my daughter I tell her 'I want ipad" "Turn ipad on please"
