Guest guest Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hello, For those with verbal kids, what helped your child learn how to answer questions? Like yes or no, Who, what, where, why and how. Like " How was school today? " etc. Is there an IPad app out there that can assist? At what ages does this skill level seem to happen? This skill seems to be very difficult for my dtr to learn. She can tell us what she wants, but that's about it. Any insight you all may have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 Hi Cassie, My son was completely nonverbal (as in, 1st percentile) until he was 2y2m. When we started biomed therapies at that time, he quickly started to catch up verbally, and by the time he was 2y8m, he had basically caught up with his age group as far as the complexity of words he could say. However, we still struggled to get him to answer yes/no appropriately, relay information about his day, etc. When we would ask a yes/no question, he would just look at us blankly like he did not know what we wanted from him. If I would ask a question about his day, he would simply repeat it after me. It was very frustrating. We started HBOT at 2y10m, and within the first two months of treatments, he spontaneously began to answer yes/no and tell me about his days at preschool. Since then, every month of treatment has brought more and more complexity to his speech, and he is now like a different kid to interact with. We had already seen lots of great progress with the other treatments we'd done, but HBOT has taken him to another level entirely. I highly recommend that you consider it if you haven't already. Our doctor sees some level of improvement in about 85% of patients who try it. Hope this helps, Hello,For those with verbal kids, what helped your child learn how to answer questions?
