Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi Welcome to the list. My youngest daughter is Skylar age 11 1/2 was diagnosed at age 3. She went to a preschool were she was integrated with all the other kids. It was the best thing we ever did. She didn't speak a word until the age of 5. Once we started using pecs and especially sign language the flood gates opened and her speech started. Now getting her to stop talking and go to sleep is the hard thing to do. Sky is in a regular Grade 7 (in September) class with a full time EA and also attends a lifeskills class. This is a great group. Lots of great people with ideas and information. I am sure you will be glad you joined. Tracey intro and questions Hello all We are new to the group. Our daughter is 2 1/2 years old and was diagnosed soon after her second birthday. She is a beautiful blonde hair, blue eyed, happy, athletic, spunky kid. We have a follow up appointment with the Dev. Ped. this week and we were hoping you could tell us what tests, assessments, questions, and/or requests we should make. We want to make sure we get all the information possible to help her learn. We are interested in ANYTHING you felt has worked for your child(ren). Biomedical, Behavioral, Diets, Meds, any test that was given that helped you understand and help your child. looking forward to hearing from you and Jim Autism_in_Girls-subscribe ------------------------ Autism_in_Girls-unsubscribe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi Tracey I am really looking forward to attending school with other kids. She is teh first born on both sides of our family and we are teh first to have a child in our group of friends so we don't really even know what typical is. Sometimes I guess that can be a nice break though. Constantly comparing must get real tiresome. Did your daughter also get ABA therapy when in preschool? Anything else seem to help the speech along? Thanks for the warm welcome. It really makes me smile to hear that your daughter is doing so well. It gives me hope H > Hi > Welcome to the list.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hi Actually Sky didn't get any ABA when she was at preschool. She kinda fell through the cracks in our system for that. But she did get alot of one on one with a worker at the preschool, it just wasn't ABA. To be honest it was sign language that open the flood gates to speech. Once her frustration was cut down and she could communicate what she wanted that seemed to help alot. We would always sign the word and say it and eventually she got to sign the word and say it too (it was a long process but it did happen eventually) Soon we were just using the word an so was she. That is what worked for us. Tracey intro and questions > > > Hello all > We are new to the group. Our daughter is 2 1/2 years old > and was diagnosed soon after her second birthday.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 that is same work we to do with our missy when she was of toddler age or preschool age. We used simple signs to her, her favorite was cracker. she signed cracker much so every day she loves crispy and salty foods and to still loves of them. she too began to speak after the use of basic signs matched with words.

Guest guest Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Joanna my husband had to have the Fibrosure test . Not sure what it was exactly but comparing the results of that to his past biopsy she was able to tell that his liver is more damaged now than it was so he was started on treatment. Whatever it is the specialist refused to give the results to our family dr and insisted on seeing him herself. Life is too short for what if's, jump in with both feet and go for it.Who's never won?
