Learning to talk

Michmac

Hi, my 2.7yr old boy has just been diagnosed with autism and is not speaking yet. We are trying to motivate him to communicate and I was wondering if you could share some experiences of your own regarding getting your child to say their first words. My boy babbles a lot and I think the docs are hopeful he will speak. It would be great to hear from people with similar problems and let me know what their outcomes were :-)

  • Hi, thanks for your comments. Yeh my son is great at blowing raspberries too lol. Just wondering if yourself or any members had any tips on any books or visual stimulants that have been shown to help to motivate your child to communicate. I'm just trying to help in every way I can, but it is like a minefield when there is so much available out there. Any strategies would be very much appreciated by all members. Basically I'm a bit overwelmed and don't know where to start.... thanks :-)
