We found that Jake showed improvement in plateaus. We would work and train diligently, with not much success. Then, he would say his targets at quite the most suprising and unprompted moments. My husband and I would look at each other and realize......"IT REALLY IS SINKING IN!!!! WHOOPIE!!!!"
You could find some "unprovoked" successes at family reunions, parties or seasonal gatherings where your child is exposed to people who don't hear him/her every day. I'll bet you will get many happy suprise utterings along your way. I'd like to hear of your suprise successes.
There is always hope! You just keep on keeping on!!!!
