Going from non-verbal to verbal

Post Reply New Topic

My daughter is 2 almost 3 y.o. and still non-verbal. She WANTS to talk, that is apparent. She is excellent with PECS and some sounds are starting to emerge, but as of yet, the only meaningful word she can actually say is "dada/daddy." :O)

We're following DAN! protocol, she has ABA and PECS, but what else can we do to encourage her? I try to sing to her, read to her, and what ever else I can think of constantly, but if anyone has any specific info, that would be great!

Thanks,
Luna's Dad

UnkleAaron - I only saw your post now, sorry it's a late response. But I began a thread in the Forum, Special Silent Forum, for those of us who are (to whatever extent) NV/mute - PLEASE check! I am a HFA and (partly) mute. I posted recently and this is located in the Haven.

I would very much appreciate your contribution/insight too.
