Doodles showing off her skills.

**If you missed my last post YOU MUST read about the amazing gift
that Sleep Safe Beds is giving to Makily. **


CLICK HERE TO READ ALL ABOUT THAT!


Makily has become a PRO at identifying objects/people in pictures using her PECS board. I think now we will start working on getting her to pick what she wants with toys and such. I did the video last week. She had taken a long nap after school and when she woke up she was SO happy. I always try to do her PECS or other home therapies with her when she is in a mood like that. She does so much better for me when she is in a good mood.

One thing that I have learned about Makily is that she understands WAY more than people give her credit for. Sometimes I even don't realize how much she comprehends because she is unable to talk to me. It's when she is using her PECS with such accuracy that I REALLY realize how much she truly does understand. Just remember next time you encounter a special needs child, realize that they may understand every word coming out of your mouth.

I love this child. She's amazing.


ENJOY!

She is so stinkin' CUTE! I loved the PECS board-our speech therapist just told us about this type of therapy for my son (he also does not speak). I'll definitely have to try this-thanks for sharing, she's so smart!

This is why I want to go into Speech Terapy. Makily is amazing! I was grinning stupidly at the video, I was seriously about ready to bawl my eyes out. Yeah, I'm a sap.
