Which IPad And IPhone Speech App Should I Choose For Nonverbal Son?
My son Levi is 9, almost 10. He has Lowe Syndrome and has many autistic tendencies. Right now we are really needing to find a speech app that would best suite Levi, who is non verbal. He has low muscle tone that makes sign language difficult but he is good with technological devices. He had a nova chat for 4 and a half years which his school personnel and family found very hard to program and use so he didn't get very far with it, although in the last year he could use it for basic speech which… read more

Gemiini
Has anyone used it? They are really pushing to Promote this program on 'fb'.
I played it at breakfast while he was eating. Captive audience :). And he didn’t always like it, but I push him to watch it. He gets really into it, but if he really protests, I will shut it down.
Gemiini Videos
Has anybody here had their kids watch the Gemiini videos? In debating on ordering them but they are $100 a month. Any feedback would be great.
My daughter is 2 and she's non-verbal. She's in aba and speech therapy but if I could do that home and it works I would be very happy.
And yes, it's crazy expensive.
What Resources Should I Be Looking Into Inbetween Services?
Right now my daughter has just started speech therapy and is seeing a behavioral analyst (for sleeping). I feel like I should be doing more. Are there any programs anyone can recommend to help my almost 3 year old? Someone suggested Geminii...? I’ve been getting a lot of advise from people who don’t have autistic children, so I’d really value some advise from parents that have been there or are currently there.
The miller method sounds similar to the Hanen program my husband has started. I’m going to check out it out. Thank you both for your input :)
I feel so helpless somedays and feel I should be doing… read more

What Experiences Have You Had With Apraxia Of Speech? What Does It Look Like And What Is Evaluation Process Like?
My son is 4 and minimally verbal. Any language he has is not very functional and often sounds much like baby babbling. We started using Gemiini video program with him and his vocabulary is slowly increasing. The videos use discrete modeling and repetition of words to teach vocabulary and skills. It seems that by the way he pays attention to the mouth movements and the way he sometimes focuses when trying to talk that there is something "lost" in the process of turning thought to speech. When he… read more
Thanks for the response! I actually already started the process of getting additional speech therapy, just waiting for scheduling. When your child was seen by the tongue-tie specialist, did you start… read more
