[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 528534, member: 11847"] Wow lots of idea and input! Thanks. I actually tried to use rocks tonight (he has a collection of rocks that we keep in a box) and he LOVED it. You guys should have seen his face when he realized I made the letter A. V and I made lots of letters with just 2 mistakes on his part. It was just amazing. The added bonus: he can take his time to place the rocks the right way and correct it as much as he wants until it's right. And that's just what he did a couple times. That is great!!! I'll have to try some (all?) the other suggestions. on the other hand, it really does not solve his communication issues. To be clearer, here are few of his problems: when asked a question or talked to V will frequently say "hugh" (almost to every interaction), requires lots of repetition and simplification to get it, lots of "I don't know" and exclusively single word answers. When he engages in a conversation, he will struggle to find the words, use gestures to make up for the lack of words or try to discribe the word he is looking for (ie: the poc poc poc, you know?" along with flapping hands = chicken). He has a hard time staying on topic. Those are the issues I was hoping to get him help for. It invades his whole life in a negative way. [/QUOTE]
