Re: Question about echolalia

[Guest guest]

Irene,

Does your son repeat everyything you say, or does he just repeat the last couple

of words? We are trying to sift through what we think is echolalia (he has

apraxia, so we would not understand a long string of echolalia anyway) because

the speech therapist says it is not (and he clearly repeats her words when she

asks a question...but my mother says he has that learned behavior from speech-

he has learned to repeat what the ST says.)

Thanks,

Used to be just the last few words- now he can perfectly repeat everything. What

I do is say- don't be a parrot- that is the question- what is your answer and he

will answer now. I tell him don't be lazy. Sometimes he just repeats thinking it

will please us or when he is paying rapt attention to a computer game and is

tuning us out.
