I was told my youngest would be non verbal. I bought the book called Baby Signs (or something like that) and photocopied all the pages. I tapped them to a large wall in our kitchen. We used… read more
There's a documentary called "Spellers" about teaching nonverbal individuals how to communicate. Very life changing. God bless.
My daughter is 6yrs old and non verbal. She's beginning to mumble alot and repeat words. She loves to watch shows in different languages. Will this hinder her from learning her primary language first?
My non-verbal 10 year old really likes listening to other languages. I figure that any language is stimulating the parts of the brain used in language. It can only help.
Hi
Can any of you lovely folk speak about your experience personally or of your Aspbergers children who indeed had speech delay, what limitations did you have ie no words by age X or X words by age X? Any help is appreciated.

We have several Signing Times DVDs. I'll check with our local Deaf school. Since I homeschool I don't often hear about classes and information that are available.
One of my twin granddaughters would not talk in complete sentences but now 7 years later...she talks and speaks about everything. Doctors used to say she would never talk....but boy were they wrong.
Hello this is NOT a question about my child/ren.
I am just curious if there is anyone out there who's nonverbal child signs fluently? Meaning they have many many words (including attributes/adjectives, adverbs) and signs in complete sentences?
My question is not if sign language is taught or what else is there...just curious to see if there is even a single non-verbal person with autism who was taught sign as an communication method who… read more
Has anyone introduced sign language to their child with autism for communication? My daughter is non-verbal and uses the app pro lo quo on her ipad to communicate which is going pretty well, but sign language seems like a good way of communicating as well.
It takes work to learn it but it’s more work in the long run to a have a nonverbal child. A short time of investing in this is worth a lifetime of worrying about your nonverbal child. Yes a child may… read more
My grandson is 11yrs old. He understands me perfectly when I speak to him. But he is non verbal. He hasn't been taught sign language or anything like that. Doesn't carry a laptop to type anything. He gets mad when I cant figure out what he wants or needs. He doesn't live with me but visits me every other weekend. I feel so frustrated. Then I start to think how he must feel. Is this typical with non verbal autistic children to not teach them any way to communicate
With a nonverbal child , it’s important to give your child a choice. You find every means to give that child language . I chose sign language first. Why? It’s part of his body. Portable. The deaf… read more
Trying to find other parents which children are also non-verbal like my daughter. Trying to just get advicence, recommendations, and ideas from them. My daughter having austism has been hard on me but the hardest part is her not talking at all. She only makes noises and even though I have figured out what's going on with her based on the tone of the noises she is making and using process of elimination. It's still very difficult especially when I see her upset at me because I just don't know… read more
