[QUOTE="buddy, post: 592246, member: 12886"] Can you describe what kinds of activities she is having him do? Is she in a clinic with Occupational Therapist (OT)/pt equipment? I tend to work with little ones using their choice of play...sand, playdough, swings, spinning..... Any media where you can repeat sounds. (pouring sand in a cup then pat it, you can say a syllable or word...pa pa pa...then do it again...they typically will start to do similar) I have never ever worked with flashcards or formal tasks like that through kindergarten (or developmentally that age) Now, if he is unable to play, imitate, etc..at all.....then I would get to a neuropsychologist and see if there may be a bigger issue going on. Does he try to communicate in a wide.variety of ways?...., requesting things, showing you things, does he come to you and join in with things you show (like pointing out a window at a plane...will he come and make airplane noises with you?) Maybe the therapist can do sessions with you to show what to do during the week, then you can grab times he is cooperative and do what is suggested. I know out is hard. This Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) may be great but not great for you. Q has had many of those. [/QUOTE]
