With the fact that our 2 1/2 year old grandson lives with us and is being brought up bilingual ( English/German) and that we’ve been in various types of Covid lockdowns for the last year, during which contact with other children was minimal, we missed the fact that he is on the spectrum. This 9 minute video is so helpful in getting me out of panic mode and into accepting and trying to understand his world. Thanks for the tools to help us communicate better.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

You're very welcome Karen, covid hasn't been kind to children who need social interaction

[@nurulhussain8344]

Thank you. You made it sounds easy and achievable. I always stress on I WANT in whatever situation my son and I encounter , he barely remember to say it but he able to say long sentences like, mama come with me at 2. Will try your advice and hope that my son could build kore vocabulary after this👍🏻

[@angielinedelacruz295]

Thank you... so helpful!! I have a 21 month old daughter just saying mama or papa just when shes crying or out of the blue, now I can be more creative while playing with her. Thanks for the advice MING!!!

[@AgentsofSpeech]

You got this!

[@camillesalangsang9387]

Same with my 21month just saying mama out of the blue or when hungry.

[@aayliahhaywood6990]

I’m having a hard time getting my daughter to repeat what I say …. Even when she wants something if she doesn’t get what she wants she cries instead instead of just repeating what I say or try

[@ChanelBrooke1994]

This is great. I have a role play of my goal of pointing for my clinical methods course and this helps so much

Glad that its helpful 😃

Hi Ming. I have a brother who's 27 months and hasn't said his first words yet. All he does is babble and we all keep trying to engage with him but nothing seems to be working. He's in his own world, as hes in the autism spectrum. What do you think we should do?

[@Steven-dv1xh]

This is really opens the perspective. Thank you!

[@AgentsofSpeech]

No probs Steven

[@mmmyestoast8765]

We were told our 2 year old needs referring to a specialist today due to lack of speech. This video puts us at ease thank you.

[@shavelleyoung6768]

My 2 yrs old use to talk clearer but not anymore

[@lourdesaldea8598]

Can you be a speech therapist for my grandson.do you have speech therapist secession

[@brainbuilderspreschool5179]

I would have to disagree with the idea that a 2-year-old isn't able to sit for a long period of time. I've observed my 2-year-old children sitting for extended periods based on the activity at hand. I noticed that, depending on the activity, the child will stay engaged for a while. Following a child's lead is cool, but you need a balance of allowing the child to follow your lead as well.

I struggle with this so hard living with my bf, his mom and brother. Whenever my daughter goes up to them, they don't engage. Instead they say, what ? Or huh? They don't even try to implement speech..this bothers me since I feel like I'm the only one trying to assist her communication. Idk how my bfs mom did it when she had kids but the way she's doing it now is not it.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

so sorry to hear this

[@HaiHoang-ek4mj]

Very nice tips, Ming!

[@AgentsofSpeech]

Thanks!!

[@aimeesy4466]

Hi ming, can you give an actual example of a routine for 2 year old boy that you've used that had been successful? I am just at a loss where to start

[@AgentsofSpeech]

You can use a car slide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2KmomeFf8qEfZY And watch this video of a demonstration from another therapist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5i3gYZmmL1njLM

[@aimeesy4466]

@@AgentsofSpeech got it ming! We tried the car slide hehe he's not quite into it as our slide has parking slots and he likes to park the car instead of letting them slide haha. But he did learn open, go, and imitated stop a few times

[@ahrazathar]

Did that help?

My son is autistic and 21/2, how can I read to him because I understand it's very important at home when you add speech therapy at him especially if u don't get enough therapy from a professionalist. How do I get him to wantto listern and interest ed . Can we watch a auido book instead plz help.

[@bhela2619]

To read? was my question

[@AgentsofSpeech]

use a reward and tempt him

[@bhela2619]

Sometimes I feel he doesn't even understand what I'm saying when I talk to him about rewards you know, what I useally do is try to read while his feeling drowzy or falling asleep coz that the only time he sit still

[@AgentsofSpeech]

@@bhela2619 show him a reward, don't talk to him... are you sure reading is the best task? use toys!

[@bhela2619]

@@AgentsofSpeech Dont know much about Reading to an autistic child, just a thought I hadto help him with speech. Any other ideas with rewards apart from a toy car which he absolutely love! Sorry to ask so many questions it's just that I've always heard of this reward things and never know how to use it. Thank you so very much, I'll start to today and let u know about the results

[@mrmarkjoseph]

This is helpful, my daughter is 2.5 months with speech delay and she now started to bubble and imitate almost everything I say or heard but not clear just sounds and rhyme. She is good in Vowel sounds but couldn’t pronounce consonants. When I tried to teach her word like “open” Ooo-pppp-een, trying to pronounce them each slowly, clearly but couldn’t say it, sometimes I would hear her say the “O” only or “Ey”. She couldn’t pronounce P and B, having hard time to say it. I’m thinking if I should get her to speech or I’ll wait. She calls me “daddy” but call her mom “yaye”😅 instead of mommy. But when I asked her to say mama, she could, but not using it to her mommy 😆.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

you should get an assessment though =D good job!

[@mrmarkjoseph]

@@AgentsofSpeech We’ve done it, I was informed she has GDD we are working on it.. she has alot of improvement before we took her to OT. The Ot says she can do speech but she has low attention span 😅

[@Classic_Abena]

Same with my daughter she says mama and papa I’m so concern she can’t put words together..she sings a lot like babbling singing 😩we speak our local dialect most home and mix with English language..she try to say something but we don’t understand I just enrolled her in speech therapy

Hello Ming, my daughter is 2 and will copy us and say a word. But won’t use it again. She uses hand gestures, but less words. She will grunt and use a gesture for water but won’t say a word. This is common. Any suggestions?

I cannot say if it's common or not, because that's relative. My suggestion is to watch other videos on the channel. If you need more help you can join our course here www.agentsofspeech.com/micro

Hello Sir, Can i ask what tip you'll give to a 6 years old boy that is struggling with for ex. pronouncing the word "ship" and he says "dip" something to do with "s" and"d" sound / "faith" and then he says "baith". Your tip really is a great help.

[@AgentsofSpeech]

This is what we call "stopping" he changes /s/ &/sh/ to /d/ and /f/ to /b/.... I would suggest that you work on his /f/, try if he can do the /f/ sound by itself first. Very difficult to tell you more here, the best advice is: find a qualified speech therapist to take care of it!

[@faithvaleriebravo5444]

Thank you for your suggestion, Sir. Its really a great help.
