- signing times

[Guest guest]

Hey !

Thanks, I will check into these videos. My two boys are just now starting to watch videos all the way through. Before, they did not have the attention span. They do not imitate at all, I am sure due to the dyspraxia, so don't know if videos will help with signing. But will check into ordering them.

Thanks, again, for sharing!Dana and Garrett, just turned 4, SCD 2 yearsCeliac, ASD, Speech and Motor Apraxia, sensory processing disorder

Yup.....Diet, diet, diet.....:)Zurama>> He is doing so good! He is making some really great progress! Itmust be wonderful now that he can communicate with some signs. I knowthat was a huge deal for us. Helped with frustrations and increasedinteraction. I totally agree that diet is the biggest part. Until wewent SCD, the other things didn't seem to help as much or not at all.Diet was the boost that seemed to get us on track. That is what I amreally trying to focus on now. Mickie is just adorable!
