My son starts to use some words. ‘Apple’ is the 1st one. And also he learnt ‘No’ to prevent washing yaaah :)))

Btw ABA principles seem to be very hard to put into practice. Normally we hardly can apply them and seriously modify our strategies. Plan to discuss it with our doctor tomorrow. However what ever we’ve done it works! He speaks. Very-very little. But that’s WORDS anyway. And that’s the communication anyway. And I hope that it’s a very serious step forward.

my son’s first words!

Waiting for a speech therapist (unfortunately there is a long queue we must wait untill 24th May) we’ve started to practice some interventions by our own basing on the books that the psychiatrist recommended to us after Mathvey passed the diagnostics.

There are many-many questions and concerns about that books and recommendations of neuro-typcial specialist in a whole. And I’ll probably write a special post about it.

However we are using the advices with care and normally change much basing on our kid’s specifics. My husband uses his parental intuition (If only I had one!) deciding what fits and what does not.

Today we noticed some success! Our boy uses a word ‘udah’ (that’s Russain ‘kudah’ means ‘where?’) to stop me going away when he wants me to stay with him. That’s a real word and a real verbal communication instead of tantrums and meltdowns! That’s a serious success.
