Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Well, okay...sort of a word. went into the fridge, and was standing there tossing my hand at a shelf (you know the drill)...Couldn't figure out what I was supposed to get out, so I said to him, " What do you want? " Of course, that never works, so I wasn't expecting a response... He reached in, took out a ziplock bag full of grapes, and said, " gwuh? " That's close enough!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 Thanks to all for the congrats on ' new word...I was truly surprised. It does seem that he is trying to talk more, so I am hoping this wasn't just a fluke. I can't tell you how many times I have heard one word...once...and never heard it again. We're considering adding in speech again...if I can find someone who will come to the house (for a price I can afford) to work with him. I always worry that if we start pushing he will stress out on us, and go backward again, so it's a constant struggle for me--I feel pressured on one hand to try to move him forward as quickly as he can...and then fear, on the other hand, that pushing too hard too fast will cause us to lose out in the end. Ugh. Raena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 I have that issue with , how much do I push, because he becomes so defiant, so I'm not doing this for YOU if he thinks I am pushing. I don't have any answers, Raena, but I have sympathy for your situation with .

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 --I dont think its a fluke either. Perhaps you could get a speech intern who needs some extra money. Just a thought.
