@precioushill_: One of the most important developments we continue to work on with Mikko is her speech. Mikko has what is called Echolalia and despite the fact that she is nonverbal, she seems to be making progress towards understanding words. The question is, is Mikko just mimicking or is she really starting to understand words? No matter what, the journey to verbal communication continues as we manage the day! Echolalia immediate is repeating a word, sound or phrase directly after hearing it. But Echolalia delayed is repeating words or phrases you’ve heard earlier in the day or weeks before and repeating them constantly. (Sometimes it’s altered) To someone on the outside, it doesn’t make sense to the action or even what she is actually needing or wanting in the moment. Her most common words are: yeah, wow, yay, thank you and I did it. If you are an advocate of our videos, you will notice these are all words and phrases I constantly say to her.
