Guest guest Posted January 20, 2000 Report Share Posted January 20, 2000 Ruth I found Caitlyn's vibrating Barney toothbrush through the Sears catalogue. I believe they also had Elmo, they were all about $12.00 plus s/h. Trish--to get Caitlyn to start talking we used a lot of signs, verbal cues and most importantly, we worked hard to get her to mimic sounds instead of words. Such as fake sneezing, coughing, and " making like an Indian " (my apologies but it worked). We also worked at imitating animal sounds like moo and baa. This didn't come easily but this is where she got her start. There is a Dr Seuss book called " Mr Brown can Moo, can you " that has a lot of sounds that Caitlyn just loved.
