Hey Kelli ! I'm a brand new Early Interventionist and I've been struggling a LOT to learn the position and expectations. Your videos are SO HELPFUL in giving me new ideas to work with kids and teach parents. Thank you so much for what you're doing, you're incredible! Massively underrated channel, every parent in the world should be watching stuff like this. Thank you a thousand times, thank you so much!
I wanted to come back and say thank you! I used this method to teach my 2 years old child with ASD to respond to my question in Yes/No format. While she knew how to say yes and no, it was never is response to a question we asked. She is very self directed. For example, In the past, we would ask 'Do you want milk?' She would not respond but just stare at us until she eventually says 'want milk'. After using this method for about a week, she started correctly responding to our questions. It's been about 5 months now and my little one is a pro at this. We are now working on building reciprocal conversation. But I wanted to sincerely thank you for these videos.
Love the advice you give - it’s been super helpful! Just hard to watch in the beginning, your intro tends to make me dizzy so I always have to fast forward
Hi kellie, thank you so much for all the videos you make. They are very helpful. I have a 6 year old ASD child that is none verbal. I’m still struggling to teach him to respond yes or no to anything I ask. The struggle is real.
@@TheSpeechScoop it worked !!!!! I get yes or no when I ask him questions and if he repeats I can either ask again and he will remember or show him the yes and no and he picks his answer with enthusiasm I love it ! Thank you !!!!!!!!!! Please more videos I have subscribed I love your channel!
Hello, we just had a two year old foster child placed in our home and she has no idea the difference between yes and no. I cant wait to work on this with her. Thank you.
Its so nice 👍 ❤️ your work improved I’m so happy for your success because I’m with you from beginning still l want little speed 😂 I’m speech therapy for hard hearing children Thanks a lot 😍
Is this appropriate for a 15 month old? I tried it, and I made him mad 😂 he was just reaching for the cookies lol. Maybe he’s not ready? He’s currently pointing to communicate and sometimes waving
Hey there! So when I ask my son yes or no questions .. he will tell me “I want the cake” or “I don’t want to have a Bath” instead of yes or no. What do you think of that response?
I tried doing this today for my 22mo son. He got pointing at the sign right away, but won't nod or say "yes." When I say "yes" (Want candy? Yes! Want candy!) though, he giggles and giggles, so at least i know that's what he wants, whereas before he wouldn't make any reaction to a yes/no question. I tried to expand on the concept with his sippy cup,(want milk? Yes!) he just grabbed the cup and walked away, didn't even look at me, the little stinker....
Haha! Yes kids are sneaky! Definitely keep being dramatic and exaggerative and continue modeling yeah! With high affect and hand him one at a time like one at a time gummy‘s or a little bit of juice at a time. If he can get it on his own and that defeats the purpose lol! I think he knows that!! Lol Then the next time just the way instead of modeling and using the visual and verbal for him just see what happens and also if you have a dad or a sibling available that can model saying yeah super excitedly give it to them whatever it is that you’re working with!
My son is confused with shaking and nodding his head. He shakes his head even if he actually means yes. Should I follow this method or back up to some other skills first?
Hi Kelli! Thank you for these videos!! I had a question: How many times do we do the hand over hand for the yes card before the child starts doing it on their own? Thank You!!
I would model it only a couple of times but definitely make sure that the things are preferred or their favorite items so that motivation is high! You can also do hand under hand or prompting of the elbow because hand over hand does not respect body autonomy so we want to give them as much independence as possible!
Thank you for sharing. My 2 year old is delayed in speech and someone suggested I do prompt therapy strategies with him. Do you have videos you made on this you can suggest?
Hey there, I use my own set of speech sound touch cues - these are located in a free PDF at SpeedySLP.com along with in a variety of my videos, how to treat Apraxia, & vowel cues! Feel free to check them out but I do think touch cues are very beneficial!
Hello just a quick question so if I’m using the pictures when will I know when they don’t need them? like right now my daughter is using the pictures to get the cookie. at some point should I try it without the pictures and see if she nodes or says yes and no?
Great idea! I will try to put something together! Best way is to incorporate sensory / gross motor activities & also set visual timers (working 5 minutes + 1-2 min breaks) or however much time is needed for the child!
My baby doesn't want any item she said no... But not saying yes she have echolila... And she respond some answers not all like name, things names, like that Is she have ecolalia
Hey dear ...ur vedios are much helpful for me as well as those parents having their kid with speech delay ...can you please make a vedio on how to give potty training to my speech delay kid....
hey there! Honestly.. The best way that I've had experience with is first, taking a log of every time your child goes to the bathroom/potty the best you can, as in, check the diaper every 30 min or hour - set a reminder on your phone) and write "wet" or "dry" during each time slot that you check. THEN, after you have that data, keep the same feeding (eating and drinking) time as before so that hopefully the schedule will match as much as possible, and just take your child and place them on the potty for 1 - 2 minutes and give them an M&M or a treat for sitting there.... THEN - IF they DO potty while they are sitting there - POSITIVE praise and attention and A LOT of TREATS or M& Ms to raise the motivation for the child to potty again the next time they are sitting there. Repeat every day. Lots of work - but you can do it!! Hang in there! :)
I ask my son questions and he always repeat the question I asked but smart in other things but he answer certain questions like if I ask if he’s hungry he say no if I ask him did he have a good day in school he would repeat what I said
I would have to agree! Any treat that a child likes can be used! The clients that I’ve worked with have just always wanted a cookie or other sugary snack because they are limited, but each child is different! You could also do this without positive reinforcement & just by interacting using the child’s intrinsic motivation by playing side by side & modeling with a stuffed animal during an unstructured play routine!
I do have a video on this! I would use pictures, hide pictures of you around the house & keep excitedly pointing and saying “mama!!!” Then just point after modeling and see what happens!
trying this tomorrow bc i think my 1 year old is ready to learn this thank you so much! i grew up getting hit for a no and i don’t want to raise mine that way ❤️🩹
