Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I've only been on the list for a few weeks but wow ... What a great resource! Kylie just turned 2 on Saturday and other than her curve, we've had a very healthy, happy miracle girl! Because we just celebrated her Birthday its been a time of wonder and awe at how quickly she has grown. We went to meet with her specialist a week before her birthday and on the way home we stopped at a restaurant to get a bite to eat. Once we were seated, She blew me away and had a full, grammatically correct conversation with me and it went like this: K - How are you? Mom Fine, How are you? K- Fine. I want ice cream Mom - We have to eat first. K - I WANT ice cream please. Mom - After we have our lunch, we can order ice cream. K- PLEASE I want ice cream PLEASE Mom - lunch first K. PLEASE Please PLEASE. The most impressive thing about this, is that it was all done in ASL (American Sign Language) not a spoken word!! I was impressed with her articulation, but more impressed she kept her begging private!! Becky, Mom to 18, 16, Brett 14, Kylie 2 and ne 8 months. Step mom to Kayla 16 and 20.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 That's amazing!! My 2.5 yr old is non verbal and we are treating him in speech therapy PECS and some sign laguage but he's not picking up on the signs well at all.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks . It helps that ASL is my first language, Grandma (who is Kylie's main caregiver if Mom and Dad are working) is Deaf and an ASL instructor and Kylie is baby #4 for me so I have the trial and error stuff of teaching ASL as a second language in a natural environment down. But I also think she is a communicative person (female!!) And hopefully destined for a career where she can utilize those skills! :)Becky Stuckless, Sign Language InterpreterDoug Reimneitz519.818.3203 From: <missikay10@...>Sender: infantile scoliosis treatment Date: Wed, 09 Mar 2011 23:04:12 -0600<infantile scoliosis treatment >Reply infantile scoliosis treatment Subject: Re: Challenge Time That's amazing!!
