[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 626566, member: 84"] UAN you can also try sign language to get him started...........to help him make the connection and give him a means to communicate his needs. I noticed Aubrey was not talking too. The nearer to age two she got the more frustrated she became and the tantrums that resulted were awful. I decided we needed to try sign language. I started teaching her some basic signs. I always spoke the word for the sign I used......and I always used it in context. It truly didn't take long for her to catch on. She used signs for quite a while..........then one day boom! she started talking.......and has talked a mile a minute every since. lol I'm not so sure she would've have caught on to verbal communication until a much later time without it. It was just not clicking for her. Signing gave her a way to communicate her needs / wants that was still a way of talking. It ended the tantrums and helped it click for her. I used it with Connor too. He never did the signs......but it also helped verbal language click when it wasn't making sense to him. With him it was a way of showing him the physical relationship between his wants / needs and words. Know what I mean?? Janet K12 is a public school, which is why it is free. Aubrey will be attending ECOT, the online public school her mother graduated from when Aubrey was a toddler. ECOT is also a public school and is free. They provide the computer, printer, internet access for free. Using their computer is required as it has safeguards programmed on it to block the children from access to the internet except for school related themes. K12 may provide the same thing. [/QUOTE]
