Ashlynn Yennie Instagram – As a mom to a daughter who is Autistic and also non verbal I have to think outside the box when it comes to helping her with communication. I started creating pages on her GoTalk app and I quiz her with flash cards on just about everything ( animals, food, feelings etc etc ) GoTalk or any AAC device is pretty crucial for non verbal kids to start using if the words are not coming, this is just my opinion. Speech is always the primary goal but having these apps and devices definitely cuts down on her frustration. And today we caught a VERY VERY SPECIAL MOMENT on camera!! I was filming to show my parents how well she’s doing with using the iPad to speak and then she shocked me!!
I caught Viv answering me when I ask what does the sheep say?
She says BA BA BA in the sweetest little voice!!! 🥹💓
I am crying obviously and my heart feels like it could explode with happiness, you can see by my reaction. 💓😭
Parents friends: Never take for granted your child’s ability to speak. I hear parents say “oh once they start talking they never stop.” I literally pray everyday for that day to come in our lives and moments like this give Michael and I so much hope 💓 #autism #autismawareness #speech #proudmom #mygirl | Posted on 19/Sep/2022 03:06:39
