Re: [HELP, my 5 years old daughter still doesn't talk

[Guest guest]

My daughter is 7 now and at five she was at the same point your daughter is

at. She would sign for a few things, babble but never on command. We actually

started the ABA/VB at amost 6 yr.old. and now she can communicate very well

she can sigh 135 words, and her sounds dramataly improved .After thousand of

" Say BAA " tons of tantruming she gave in. She know saysBa, Ba-Ba, Mmm, Moma,

Pa, Ah, Bye, Bye-bye, I, Poo, Baby, Bed,and a few moreon command. And she is

surprising me all the time with different words at random. I still at seven

have not given up on her speaking but I can 't predict when that will happen

I can give her signs that she needs to communicate. She is a effective

communicator.The procedure you mentioned is the same one we use, Automatic

Reinforcer Procedure. It works it just takes time. We also do echoic drills

Daily. She is going to a school that uses the ABBLS as their curriculum. She

also gets 20 hours aweek after school of private therapist. And she asks to

work she loves it . I may not have answered your questio
