My Non-Speaking, Autistic Teenage Son has a Communication Breakthrough
My son Jack has autism. He is seventeen, and doesn't speak. We thought that meant a life of silence. But friends, something utterly amazing has happened these last seven months. I haven't said a word about this until now, because I wanted to give it enough time. Hope is scary. But today is the day. Please watch this, friends. It's thirteen minutes long. I promise you, it will be worth it.

Eleven Year Old Boy Performs Movie Scenes to Entertain His Brother with Autism
Переглядів 2824 роки тому
Jack has autism, and is functionally non-verbal. But even though communication is hard for him, his younger brother Sam has found an awesome way to connect with Jack. This happens every single day in our house, and it's been happening with all of Jack's siblings for many years.This video contains very short clips from the following movies: Monsters Inc, ©Disney Pixar 2001How to Train Your Drago...

Jack got out on the field at a Eugene Emeralds game and threw a couple of pitches... I didn't get the camera out until Sara caught up to him.
Amazing!!!

this is amazing. love it. There's hope for so many with this technique.
How this poem so describes each and every nonverbal autistic child. We also have a 9-year-old beloved nonverbal autistic son, who we only know from the outside. I would love to know his thoughts. God bless everyone on this journey. thank you for sharing.
Have you used a keyboard on a tablet?
You made my day. Thank you. Best luck for you and your family.
give him a tablet already, so he can actually type? I don't get the difference
they will get to that stage, Good things take time.
This is a perfect video of Jack's journey--and your owm.❤ my own son learned to spell at 14, and he says it saved his life. The presumption of competence is everything. So lovely. Thank you.
This is very controversial and not backed by science at all. The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has taken a rare hard-and-fast formal stance against these techniques and state they can do very serious harm. People watching this please do some research and dont be fooled, google RPM/Spelling to Communicate and it's dangers, don't subject your loved ones to harmful pseudoscience! Untested techniques, like RPM, prey upon vulnerable families when effective and appropriate interventions already exist. Please consult a speech-language pathologist if you can. I want to be gracious to these people but honestly shame on them for making this video, they are going out of their way and actively harming some of the most vulnerable people in society. Absolutely shameful. Certainly not godly, that's for sure. To Jack's father: You have facilitator bias. You know how you're treating him behind the cameras, forcing him to learn to spell words he doesnt understand, it's horrible & abusive what you're doing behind closed doors and it makes me feel sick to my stomach. The fact you posted this is so brazen. Not everyone communicates with words but you can't accept their differences. You can't even accept that autism is not some kind of disease that needs to be cured. Jack doesn't have to be what his dad clearly thinks intelligent is to have value, he has value just for existing as a human! Poor kid, why can't his father just accept him how God made him?!
This video makes me think of Helen Keller's governess. What an amazing woman, as was Helen Keller herself.
Beautiful video. From what you have told us I would say your world has been turned the right way up, rather than upside down. 🙂
Amen ❤
Did he use RPM or S2C practitioner?
I have been declaring the Word of God over my son who has a diagnosis of ASD for the past year or so and am seeing him progressively healed. Find out more on this video about to apply Scripture declarations to any problems, illness or issues: ua-cam.com/video/XOxCY7-d8_Y/v-deo.htmlsi=TIDebi_-slAjD9D6
You know what’s wild?! My daughter is verbal with gestalt language. But still has an intellectual disability diagnosis. I assumed the divides were right before, but when I watched this documentary.. I just gave it a try. I talked to her like she was an adult, or at least age appropriate. Since then she has exploded in trying to use her existing words to communicate. She doesn’t need a board to spell because she has enough words, but she still needs a vision board because she’s let me know that her body is like the body of these individuals. Just less impaired. Holy cow. This changed all of our lives. She is still learning to trust that I will listen. But the more I use her existing language to figure out what she’s trying to say, the more she tries. Because I’m treating her like she understands me now and I’m de-gaslighting her!
My son Oliver is 9 and he has just begun his spelling journey. I have a question. We're all of the answers from spelling lessons? In my son's school it seems they are always teaching kindergarten lessons. I was considering asking for a real history lesson once a day. So he can acquire more knowledge. Did Jack watch educational programs or read higher level books prior to spelling? We can't wait for open communication. God bless you all on your journey ❤
🥹🙌🏽🙏🏽💙 eu tenho um filho autista, nível 3 não verbal, esse vídeo é inspirador.
Pretty interesting
Praise God. Rejoicing with you ❤
Thank you for sharing. I have an 18 year old nonverbal grandson who started Spelling to Communicate a year ago and what a wonderful difference it has had for him and his family.
Jason, you and Jack are a gift to this community, God Bless!
I have an autistic daughter who is 9 now, but didn’t say her first word til she was 4. She still can’t communicate very well, but she can tell us what she wants for dinner “so hungry. Pasta please”. I wonder if the difference is apraxia, she does not have that. She is the smartest person I know, and has an amazing memory. It’s easier to communicate via spelling sometimes. She spells amazingly well. I will look into ASC to see if it could be useful. Thank you for sharing, this has been so encouraging!
Apparently Einstein didn't talk until he was four.
Such an inspiring story! What a beautiful loving family Jack is part of too! I know Jack’s lovely I-ASC Certified S2C Practitioner. I’ve witnessed her journey of first being inspired by the book, Underestimated: An Autism Miracle by J. B. Handley which led her to train with I-ASC and then her astounding, heartwarming stories of the progress she’s seen with her clients. I attended the movie Spellers with her which may have been the same exact showing Jack’s dad was at. I cried and was so moved. Also, a bit frustrated that this method is not presented to every person like Jack right from the start. Sometimes it takes a grassroots approach to get the word out and to get methods like these available to anyone who could benefit. I’m sharing as much as I can. If you are reading this, please share too! Thanks for sharing, Jason! What an incredible dad you are! Go, Jack, you are amazing!
Jack, you are a smart guy. 🫶
Whoa, Brother! What a beautiful turn in the story!! Praising God for the update
Great story and information. Music is way too loud. It's competing with your words.
Jason,I am overjoyed with your miracle you have experienced. I shared your agony with your book, commended to me by Elizabeth Wagner Berg, and my Nephew Nathan Wagner. What a magnificent gift Daddy God has bestowed on you now!
Thank you for sharing. Very inspiring and Interesting and so happy to hear about your sons success. I also have a very special child with major challenges. My daughter is 15 and has never spoken a word along with various other challenges. I also remember a moment of adjusting expectations and letting go which was very healthy for her and our families mental health and allowed all of us to just be happy. And ok. It’s ok. Everything’s fine. She’s happy, we’re happy. Things are different. But that’s ok. That’s who she is and that’s ok too. We still work hard on overcoming challenges to be better just like all of us would, but it’s ok to accept her for her. That’s how she was made, and this is her unique path and deep down inside, we’re lucky to be a part of it. Honored. I always tell people, “she’s never spoken a word, but she has taught me, my wife, her siblings, extended family and friends so much”. She’s changed lives. :)
I’ve known Jack my whole life. This is such a wonderful and amazing surprise to the whole community. I am very excited about what God has for Jack.
You'll never see Jack communicate independently without his dad. He's taking away his son's human right to communicate independently by doing this. Independence is critical: It ensures that the words, thoughts, and feelings an individual expresses are indeed their own and not the words of another person. With Spell to Communicate, you can’t tell whether the words being spelled out belong to the autistic child - or to their aide. The aide holding the alphabet board can move the board unintentionally in the direction of the letter that they think the child should select next. This is called facilitator bias, a documented phenomenon in which a helper unintentionally influences the message produced. Aides might well have good intentions, but they may unknowingly insert their own assumptions and thoughts into the message. A simple way to reduce facilitator bias is for the aide to place the alphabet board on a table or mount instead of holding it in the air. Though based this video I do think Jack's father is doing it intentionally. Now ask yourself, do the words that Jack's father claims he is spelling out sound like how a 16 year old boy would talk, or do they sound like how Jack's father would talk? Do you think you'll ever see Jack using that board without his father breathing down his neck, prompting him to repeat muscle movements he taught him through countless hours of repition and scolding? Thinking about it for more than 5 minutes, things don't make sense. His father is unable to prove the claims he is making though he is trying very hard to trick you into thinking he's proving it in this video. You don't see what's happening behind closed doors and this man is taking your community for fools with this video. Using his son to make himself look more godly to y'all.
@@H4CK41D How did I miss this comment? Well, H4ck41D (can I call you Mr 41D?), I only wish you could have witnessed when my wife took Jack to his developmental pediatrician earlier this year. This woman, along with 2 other doctors, heard this story and wanted to see it for themselves. So the doctor picked up the letter board and asked Jack what was going on. He spelled out what was happening in his body and told her the kind of doctor he wanted to see. Understand, friend: he spelled it not with his practitioner, or with my wife, but with a TOTAL STRANGER--something that is incredibly difficult to do. The doctors wrote it up in their report: this dude Jack advocated for himself by communicating on this board without any prompting whatsoever. But now that H4ck41D from UA-cam has given his expert ruling, I will cancel all further communication via letters, and take away Jack's keyboard, which he is now practicing on, after a year of working the letter board. You're a lifesaver, Mr D!
Hey Jack, thank you for teaching this 65-year-old grandpa about working hard, being joyful, and being strong. I admire you so much, and you SHOULD BE VERY PROUD of the person you are. Thanks for the reminder that we are ALL made in the image of God. Keep shining that IMAGO DEI! BTW I used to live in Salem and traveled all around your beautiful state. Love it there!
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Beautiful story. Best wishes to Jack and his parents. ❤
thank you for sharing this. I am encouraged as I also walk this path of parenting a daughter with autism. God bless you and your family, Pastor Jason!
Beautiful. Heartfelt.
Just beautiful! My 18 year old son, with Autism, is beloved
So beautiful and true. You are beloved
Beautiful, poignant poem. So heart-warming to see this thru the eyes of a dad so in tune with all facets of his "beloved" son.
