That feeling you get when after a long hard road!!!
With a SEND child especially one that’s non verbal you question what they are understanding, what are they taking in?
Am I teaching them enough, how much are they understanding?
To some this is just a apple 🍏
To us today this was a game changer
Mad grabbed it off the side and said apple!!!
Her first meaningful word not Echolalia
Echolalia is the involuntary repetition of words or phrases that someone else has said. (Mad had the odd word she will say that had no meaning or relation to anything
But this morning she picked up the apple and said apple
Even though she doesn’t like apples but honestly I could have cried with joy!!!
Mads turns 5 in a few weeks and everyday I talk and communicate our day and learning with no understanding if she’s taking it in or understanding it which is all part of her complex needs
Little moments like this gives me and so many parents like me hope!!!
APPLE 🍏
