Her Communication Device | Sick Again (S2E35)

[@hollykerr4866]

I love watching your guys KZbin channel and I love learning more about autism

[@karishafer]

Praying Braylee gets to feeling better soon! ♥️💜♥️💜🦋🦋

[@68annakunde]

Aw Poor Braylee.....Praying that You Please get Well 🙏💖

[@annegreenwood3624]

she is so smart such a bright star you guys are so blessed another great video

[@Autmazing]

It's awesome that it has worked so well and that insurance covers it! We've had one broken ipad too, with our older daughter. Our younger daughter is doing really well with PECS and it makes me wonder how she would do with something like this! Awesome video, thank you for sharing!

[@TheWeeFamily]

Braylee started with PECS but it wasn’t ideal long term and as she grew and learned more it became a not very practical thing for her to use and carry around unfortunately.

[@THBakker69]

Thank you for sharing! 3:06 - 5:08 This is where we are right now with our 10 year old son who cannot speak, but makes noises. He always points his finger at what he wants and drags us to it. We are in the process of using his speechcomputer more, but we (him and us) don't really lke that computer he has right now. It's a locked down Windows Tablet, with a custom designed speechprogram we cannot add things to ourselves; that's what someone at school does. And he is used to iPad speed and weight. That speechcomputer weighs a ton and is really thick. We also make more daily use of PECS to organize our/his day, which helps and is easier to adapt to. We do think a speechcomputer can be overwhelming by the number of subcategories and the sheer number of icons. Too bad that app costs €279,- with no trial period. It would be nice to see if it is as good or hopefully better than his speechcomputer and most important; if he likes it and WANTS to use it, which is most important, next to functionality. We want to give our son a voice.

[@TheWeeFamily]

I hope you find what works best for him soon! We have used a different program before but likes this one better. The iPad and software were covered by insurance for her. We will be sharing on Instagram and Facebook stories the software sales going this week since October is AAC awareness month.

I have autism to and I don't talk much to

[@xevsetter1201]

Hoping Braylee feels better soon! 💖

[@janaleonard4702]

I hope Braylee feels better soon!!! Thank-you for sharing her communication device. For Autism Awareness Day we have our Autism flag flying in front of our house, our porch light is blue and we will all be wearing blue. Did you get my video to work? I will get you another video tomorrow, maybe I can get his OT's involved.(Another fave thing about Autism is the team of people who want the best for my son.)

[@TheWeeFamily]

I believe he did! He just didn’t get as many as he needed to fill a video I think.

[@jeannieboisvert8839]

We also use Proloquo2 Go. Love it!

[@elizabeths6271]

I just wanted to say i love your videos and i love your family

[@TheWeeFamily]

Thank you!!

[@mandya6040]

She does her communication device really well So clever beautiful girl

[@johnsoncas19]

Love your channel!! I’m a para and my student uses Pro, once he learned how to navigate it was a game changer for how he can communicate.

[@TheWeeFamily]

That’s great! She dabbles with it but she just isn’t highly motivated to use her talker thus far. 😕 she’s had a speaking device of some sort for the past 3 years.

[@johnsoncas19]

He has had it the past two years but only started really using it this school year, and a few weeks ago he started “talking” (word approximation) so using them in conjunction with each other is helpful.

[@johnsoncas19]

Also, using highly motivating rewards is helpful. Ex: touch “food” and gets that food item helps. My little guy likes squeezes so, I would give him a quick squeeze with a super positive response when he navigates to the correct item/folder.

[@davedollar4]

Couple of things, 1st. Muffins are the best! 2nd, I never can get my head around the insurance system over in the states. Just makes my head hurt. Anyway, Hope Braylee feels better and I need one of the bus tees just rad.

[@TheWeeFamily]

Muffins are a favorite of hers, but only certain ones of course haha. You are not alone, insurance here makes MY head hurt also. She’s on the up and up. The bus tees are great!

[@joanmcgilton5148]

I hope Braylee is feeling better today. The second I was at a doctors appointment. I got approved for a spinal cord stimulater. So now I have to wait for a appointment to get the surgery.

[@sarajedi1237]

Oh feel better B hugs too all

[@begane1]

Can’t decide which shirt to get! Hope Braylee feels better soon, and thanks for explaining the communication devices and programs in more detail😊 How’s your little hedgehog? Haven’t seen him in a while. Getting one for my daughter this spring😊👍

[@TheWeeFamily]

😊 She’s doing well, she just adjusted to her hours so she’s really only up at night. Are you really? That’s awesome! They aren’t the easiest to care for, but worth it

[@ekidd79]

aw, poorly little peanut...feel better soon Those communication devices/apps are great for Braylee, even though I love her little whispers, sometimes girl just gots to say she needs muffins! ;-)

[@TheWeeFamily]

We try to give her options so no matter what she has some way to communicate with us

[@living_dead_pogo7174]

I hope you feel better Braylee..💙

[@AfallinAngel]

I heard her say I eat right before pressing snack and muffin... wonderful job!

[@TheWeeFamily]

It’s one of her more highly motivating things, muffins 😂

[@xanthebluett338]

Hey fab work on the talker Braylee, do you do the 'I'm somebody' stuff in adult sizes? Do you still want video clips and if so what do you want in them?

[@DiariesofaDisabledmom]

This Is funny I just posted a video about my sons communication device as well. We are so in sync! But I'm poor so mine isnt as nice lol maybe one day. Awe hope braylee feels better soon! Clips of what? I'd like to help!

[@TheWeeFamily]

We only got ours because insurance covered it for us! Go ahead and email David and he will send details 🙂

[@DiariesofaDisabledmom]

@@TheWeeFamily ok I will. Mine came from the school as well lol

[@whitneykenton7960]

Are the shirts like Stacy has on for sale

[@TheWeeFamily]

We will be adding them to teespring

[@TheWeeFamily]

We have them up now!

[@davidtolman1266]

Wow your hair is nicer than me lol. Anyways I hate being sick to but it's whatever. I hope you get better soon, Braylee

[@TheWeeFamily]

She’s going back to school tomorrow just the tail end of her cold left!

[@davidtolman1266]

@@TheWeeFamily yay that's good

[@G4RA]

Is it possible to get the hoodie or the T-shirt with “I’m somebody” in adult size? I know is meant for children but I work with them (in my new job) I would love to wear it. (Totally unrelated with the video)

[@TheWeeFamily]

We will make it possible for you.

[@G4RA]

The Wee Family omg! That’s the sweetest answer ever!

[@TheWeeFamily]

We got them up! 😁

[@abigailgrubbs1967]

How do you guys lock the screen

[@TheWeeFamily]

It’s a triple click of the home button for her iPad. We have it set up under guided access

[@miraarcilla6091]

I'm with you, Braylee. I've been sick for a good while, thanks to the flu that Jonathon and I gave to each other. What an unexciting weekend! Sorry Wees! Hope my Braylee beauty feels better soon. I'm not good with videos, and I don't personally know anyone with autism … until now. I can't wait to see that video, though. Take good care, Wees. :) I'll be buying merch soon, but I may have to ask for help if my screen reader gets in to trouble. :)

[@TheWeeFamily]

Oh no! The flu is not any good. I think hers is just a cold. That’s fine, we just hope you enjoy the video once it’s made 🙂 That’s awesome!

[@notabby7679]

I have autism but not non verbal

[@TiffanyCrazyLifeTiffy]

Like what i say in video? Like talk about autism and how change family?

[@TheWeeFamily]

Share what you love about autism.

[@charmaineblackie98]

In the video what would you want us to say?? I didn't realize you where doing this

[@kayleneharris5180]

I sent you a small video, hope it's ok 💖

[@TheWeeFamily]

Thank you!

[@tammylowe4047]

Braylee sure is a mini mom...Thank goodness you were born nice looking as she looks just you...lol. I mean that as a heartfelt compliment. I'm thinking some troll is going to jump all over that...was going to erase it but my Jeff said that you would know me by now and know where my heart is. He's 100% right...Braylee is mimi mom and they are both special ladies. I cant wait to see this video....I have no doubt it's going to be amazing. Much love from mine to yours! 💖💖😜😜💖💖

[@TheWeeFamily]

You are so sweet Tammy ☺️ love to you all as well 💜

[@lorihuff7511]

I want one. I know cost a lot money.

[@TheWeeFamily]

They can be pricy. Insurance paid for hers.

[@deniseespinoza5732]

I want to do a video but I’m camera shy 😫

[@_little_mama_purple3452]

What app is she using to communicate with?

[@TheWeeFamily]

Proloquo2go

[@_little_mama_purple3452]

Cool. Emmett uses TouchChat HD with WordPower.

[@mialoop1601]

Dealara Brito can’t not communicate with voice

[@allaroundleilasmith6952]

Hello 🤩

[@Glotglot]

Those little chocolate chip muffins are so yummy. :)

[@TheWeeFamily]

She loves them

[@TheAspieGamer66]

Would Braylee like Star Wars

[@TheWeeFamily]

I’m not sure? It’s possible in the future. Right now she doesn’t really watch any movies and has limited preference on tv shows.

[@TheAspieGamer66]

The Wee Family I have high functioning autism does she play video games

[@TheWeeFamily]

She does not play video games yet. I’m not sure she would understand how to use the controls or have the hand eye coordination/motor planning or whatever goes into that to do it. She plays little games on her tablet/devices.

[@annaiovesfries4270]

If I am frustrated at school my teacher will probably be like let me call your mom to see if you can bring your words over If she can’t my dad will probably be like I heard somome needs her communication device he will probably be like yeah she is upset my teacher will probably be like what do you want if I push eat he will probably be like okay! I can get your sandwich! Nice asking Anna
