[QUOTE="SRL, post: 64752, member: 701"] Have you looked into using sign language? Sometimes when children seem highly resistant to putting bits of verbal language together there are reasons that we as parents and the professionals in their world simply have not yet understood. Sometimes providing alternatives such as sign language, picture systems and keyboards can open up doors of communication for them. I was also told that the district hadn't seen any child like mine before but it turned out that once the staff started working with him, they had indeed seen kids like him, only they didn't have formal diagnosis's or else not full diagnosis's on them at the time. They also had worked with kids who had some of the same traits and were able to do a good job despite encountering a child that was new to them. [/QUOTE]
