Today is a outstanding day!
Aidan stood at the top of the stairs and called "Da da" as he wanted his father to come up to the top floor to carry my DS Lite case to the basement for him. This is the first time he has ever called out to his father! Hopefully this isn't a one off.
Later that night at the park Aidan repetitively called "bub bub" for more bubbles. The word hasn't been spoken in over one month and never repetitively .
This happened just prior to us implementing Nancy Kaufman's speech and language technique which would have focused on us on encouraging Aidan to say one sound for all objects he desired. This way Aidan would begin to use speech as a method to communicate his wants. Then once Aidan sees the value in using a verbal request then we'd encourage him to make request sounds that are similar to the name of the object he desired. We've decided now to put it on hold to see if Aidan's speech will continue to develop naturally over the next two weeks or if these steps are just one offs.
Say a prayer!
