[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 223428, member: 1991"] MWM, you said, "he would echo: "What's your name?" "Name." (He knew his name) "Can you get your coat?" "Coat! Coat! Coat" (while getting it)" THAT'S echolalia! I do think it is a stage of development they have to go through, especially if they have language delay; I think it is their own coping mechanism to help them learn language when they have no initial frame of reference. I think it also shows just how smart they are, to figure this out for themselves when they are still so very young. Marg [/QUOTE]
