Does your child repeat everything that you say?!
This video is for you!
Help your child or client decrease echolalic tendencies in 3 simple steps!
1) Switch from "WH" question to "YES/NO" questions!
- IF you child does not respond to yes/no questions, check out this video: • HOW TO TEACH TODDLERS ...
-Exaggerate when using YES and NO with VISUAL cues and prompts!
After you model YES! - then remover verbal prompt and stick with the visual! (using sign for yes, head nod, big smile, "yay" hands, etc, or even mouth the word with no sound!)
-Cut snacks/treats into SMALL pieces to lengthen the number of trials/repetitions you perform!
(IF your child has no response - HELP them respond by physically shaking their head for them or by hand over hand helping them to do the sign.
-Once your child masters YES, change to "NO!"
use a NEGATIVE reinforcer (something your child does NOT like) like a gross textured or sensory object (example used is onion or spinach leaf dipped in olive oil) Model YES or NO - while changing positions of the words, NO or YES?! to extend learning to comprehend meaning of words. IF child says YES, GIVE THEM THE NEGATIVE REINFORCER to DRAW ATTENTION to the WORD that the child said! model: "You said YES!"
Then RE-TEACH skill by modeling no and walking through the same approach as yes by diminishing amount of cues. Look for a PAUSE to represent that the child is word finding! Then help them by giving them the word if necessary - DONT FORGET TO COUNT TO 5 in your head to give them enough time to process a newly learned skill and respond!
2) After your child has mastered YES/NO - move to WH (WHAT) questions, and provide 2 OPTIONS - ONE PREFERRED AND ONE NON-PREFERRED
Model and continue to positive or negatively enforce whichever your child says!
3) Help your child build receptive language skills through "fill in the blank" opportunities such as "I WANT ____" by pointing and waiting for the child to indepdently fill in what they WANT. Model this by saying "MOMMY WANTS COOKIE!" and pop a piece of a cookie in your mouth! Then model for them "I WANT ____" and pause to allow time for them to fill in the blank, if they do not fill it in, HELP them by modeling the word and then giving it to them. Also switch between positive and negative reinforcers for this skill as well!

So informative! Love your energy, thank you will be trimming this with my toddler
Yay! You can do it!
I need more of these videos about echolalia! It's super hard to teach when he repeats everything lol
I totally understand! I’ll try to come out w another one!
Wow I’m so pleased to see you back. I’ve been hoping and waiting for more help and ideas from you. There are a lot of SLT’s on UA-cam but you inspire me the most! You’re so energetic and enthusiastic with so much information, it gives me energy and makes me eager to get to work and put your ideas into practice. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
congratulations on your wedding by the way .
This has helped my toddler so much! Thank you very much!
Your videos make it so easy to send to parents! They say its like having me there to explain it when they forget how to target certain goals.
That’s so great!! Yay! Totally exactly what I was hoping these would be used for! :) thanks for sharing w your families!
Thank you. In my experience, you can also offer two items without words and once the child goes for one of them, you put words to what he wants (e.g., "You want Mac & cheese!!!) instead of making a verbal offer in the beginning.
Fantastic idea!
@@TheSpeechScoop Thank you!
Thank you so much ive seen this video of yours and remember the intervention done to my eldest son
This is really informative and well-explained. I tried asking LO's SLP in Italy how to treat Echolalia and I got confusing answers from them. You are an angel in disguise. ciao from Italy. My daughter understands American English than Italian.
This is very helpful Teacher. Thank you do much. And yes to make playtime fun!❤💯
Hi Kelly, thank you so much for all your content. You won’t believe how much you have helped me help so many children. I’m from the Uk and work in a school with very young children.
I wanted to ask if you’re going to continue with your videos after the corona virus outbreak. I truly hope so, you are an inspiration 😀!
Hey Stefani! Thanks so much for the comment! Yes! I have found that I really love interacting this way & helping via videos so I plan to continue until I run of out material to talk about! Lol
Thank you! I am a SI but like to target and know the speech aspect of it when I can. Your videos have really helped break it down for me.
Thank you for watching & for the comment!! I love co-treatment techniques as well!
I just found your channel and have learned so much from your videos. THANK YOU!!!
Yay!
Wow! I love love love your videos!!
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for watching!
i wish you will do more vids like this kellly there so helpful for pepole in the world!!!!!!
I’ll keep making videos for our sweet ASD friends!
Thank you.
Really helpful.
Thank you for watching!
This is probably the hardest struggle when it comes to my kiddo with autism. He hasn’t progressed at all in speech in his 10 years. This was a huge eye opener. Going to try them out!
Hey , Nikki I am in the same boat with my 12 year old . I hope some of these tips worked for you.
This scares me about my 3 year old, what other symptoms does your kid have? I was hoping we could teach him to speak like us but now I'm scared he never will :(
@@nicoledoubleyouhi I also have a 3 year old displaying these signs too.. I am petrified.. have you made any progress since commenting ?
@@kid--presentable he had progressed a lot in just a short amount of time! He's no where near where he's supposed to be yet but he's much closer to it than he was when I commented. He can figure out how to ask for things and tell us about things and we've worked a lot to get him to tell us when he's tired or hungry or if he wants us to help him cuz his younger brother is trying to take his stuff (we have a baby that will just get all up in his business) it may help that we have a 2 year old that is very expressive about his wants and needs and gets those things fulfilled when he speaks. I'm not sure if it plays a role but it probably is very different than having no siblings that are very close in age and have average or above average ability to communicate
Omg thank you so much for this ! ♥️
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much❤
Thanks for the useful tips madam
Thanks for watching!
So helpful!
Glad you think so!
thank you so much!!!
Thanks for watching!
❤great suggestions
🥰♥️
I’ve just come across your videos and they are so practical and helpful! My son keeps saying mommy,mommy, mommy when he gets upset, when he is gently told he needs to share or stop something that is not safe for him. It’s very frustrating even when we give him the cuddle to calm him down. His echolalia of Mum is frustrating as I don’t know what he wants. Advice please?
Haha lovng ur expressions 😍
Haha thank you!
Hello! Thank you so much for your videos! They are super helpful! Can you please share a link to the article or info about the motor activities helping with processing of language? Thank you again!!!!
I’ll try to find one on practice of oral motor movements & coordination!! & I’m positive there are some on verbal routines implementation for language processing!
@@TheSpeechScoop thank you!!
What if they are starting language and reapeting like “apple” “spaghetti” using echolalia. Would you still try the “yes or “no” or let them learn more vocabulary first before the “yes or “no” option?
Thank you! I’ve been using these tips for a few months and they have helped my son so much!
Now he has started saying “yes… okay” or “yes okay I’ll get it” I have been trying to vary my response is there anything different I should do to help him?
Thanks!
Hi
Please advice how to treat delayed ecolaliya
Now I want an apple and a hug 😂🤣😂🤣
Do you have any tips for targeting severe echolalia for old children via teletherapy sessions? I would appreciate any suggestions 😅 I have been trying to read/utilize tips from Marge Blanc’s book, however I still feel like I’m still struggling.
Let me think on this & I’ll get back to ya!
I just found out my Baby is 2 have Echolalia. Thank you so much for this tips..
I'm a Stayhome Mom and like to teach little of everything on my Kids.
I have a 12 year old boy that is autistic. So if this Echolalia go to autisim in my kid not a suprise.
I will do anything to help him!!
Echolalia is a natural speech development and we typically see an increase in echolalia from 18 months to 24 months and then a decrease as their language continues to expand. Has the echolalia decreased recently by chance?
Hi! So my son is 3.5 and he has echolalia. We just got a screening for him a few days ago and they said the same thing that he had a few red flags for autism. I’ve been worried about it for a while so I kept trying to research for the past 2 years and he doesn’t seem to meet any of the other symptoms of even high functioning autism. However, my son watched shows like Little Baby Bum for the first year of his life and I didn’t know how detrimental that was to him until he was almost 2. He babbled and pointed and would show us what he wanted but he didn’t actually start talking until his sister was born right after he turned 2. His speech has majorly improved over the last year and a half but he does repeat a lot still. I’m wondering, though, does he do that because I repeat him? Or because he started talking so late so he is catching up? We do have some back and forth conversation and if I ask him a question like “do you want a banana?” Hell say “want a banana” until I say “yes or no?” Then he’ll tell me yes or no if he wants it or not.
For both of my daughters, no came before yes. My older daughter didn't get to use it as a word until she was almost 3, when she wanted to confirm something she would just repeat the word or part of sentence she agreed to. And she was VERY talkative and began using a lot of words very early. Now for the younger one she nods for yes, but no is a word she uses correctly, so I wonder if confirmation is something that come later in children's understanding of language.
I totally agree that usually we see “NO” verbally appear before YES, mainly because kids KNOW what they DO NOT want or do not want to do (like leave the park) I would recommend using over the top specific questions when targeting YES with your little one - like something VERY exciting & you could even build her into the word Ike “EE- AH” YEAH!” & be overly excited & exaggerative - i’ve done this with standing at the sliding door and a parents house asking if the child wants to go outside! & once they imitate EE or -AH, we go, then we blow a few bubbles and come back in for a snack and then repeat over and over and over again and I try to build the word & understanding that way! Lmk if that makes sense!
@@TheSpeechScoop yes it does, thanks for the excellent example, I'll give it a try!
Please could you tell me what it might infer if a child moves from using delayed echolalia to immediate echolalia plus jargon? Many thanks.
Here there, they could be a gestalt language processor! I would check out my video on GLP and echolalia/jargon to see if that sounds more familiar!
@TheSpeechScoop is there a difference between a toddler that obviously is gestalt processing vs just echolalia?
Hi
I am new subscriber..
When a child have ecolalia then the child have autism plz tell me
Picky
Hi! My son is stimming his sometimes can you help me out
Teaching my child say thank you and you’re welcome! He would say “say thank you”, once he says it I said “you’re welcome”. And then he echo me “you’re welcome”. How do I teach him or help him to understand the thank you and you’re welcome concept
Hmmmm how old is your little one? Often times it’s very difficult to teach abstract meanings because it’s not important to the child
Please can you help me with child using delayed echolalia . He always repeats what I say, for example, we should not eat a lot of sweets that hurt the teeth. He says it when he comes to want sweets, “Mama, I want sweets,” and then he answers my words that I said yesterday or a week ago.
I have Autism ASD mild
My daughter is 17 we did it as you suggested for years and she still with echolia. She answered yes and no questions but if I said hello princess she repeated it.
How can I help my kid to make a clear "L" and "R" sounds my daughter can not put her tongue in the right position. Make a video of it please
my daughter is mild autistic she repeats every thng every question. what should i do. do kids recover from autism mild autsim?
PLEASE look into gestalt language learners!! We do NOT want this to go away! You are DELAYING their language development by trying to reduce this! Ugh it breaks my heart that the research is ahead of the practice because change is SO slow that we are impacting this whole generation of gestalt language learners who communicate with echolalia including delayed echolalia
Hi! Thanks for this. Can you link me to some sources for education with echolalua rather than against it?
What age would this work on?
Typical echolalia begins decreasing at 24 months, so anytime after that!
What do you do when your child expects you to repeat back what they just said? It's not because it's she didn't hear but, because she obsesses with wanting that phrase repeated to her.
I have a child that does this too, it's favorite way to converse with his Dad and myself. He gets upset if we don't repeat what he's just said.
@@amberican927 I refuse to do it.
My child speaks in full sentences. He just randomly repeats. Is there anything that can help with that? With these he will easily say “ I want or I don’t want that I want this, I don’t know if I want that.. etc.” so I feel like I need something for the next level.
I wonder if he is a GLP (gestalt language processor) check this out - ua-cam.com/video/sB4uI_dHJOA/v-deo.html&lc=UgwXms0RgdhqOGfd2q54AaABAg
My 10 yo has been repeating herself since she was little. Especially when telling a story or explaining something. Maybe she’ll change the construction of the sentence. Even when we verbally acknowledge/respond to what she’s saying/asking she’ll repeat herself. 🤷🏽♀️
But 24
hello I want to ma a career as a speech therapist but there is no one who is in this field to guide me with the same and i do find myself kind of lost as to how should i start , what courses do i need to take, there are plenty of questions going on in my mind please help me if you can ...
Hey there! Try searching for colleges & universities that offer bachelor degree in the program “communication sciences & disorders!” That’s what you will need first! :)
@@TheSpeechScoop thank you
I want to stop repeating myself
When your child isn’t picky at all and will happily eat a green onion or spinach… what should you do?
Oh dear! Try something you know they wouldn't like - whatever texture they don't like! (or smell, etc)
Apparently I'm on the pill
As an autistic person with an autistic son i do not agree with this. Echolalia was the tool i used to get my son verbal after being nonverbal.
It is hard to create your own sentences BUT you can repeat and remember sentences.
Also repeating for us is a connection to others. It is hard to form bonds to the outside world and repeating gives safety and connection.
Echolalia is how i became fluent in English as a second language at 7 years old. It is how i learn all language as an autistic person.
My tip: make ur own videos. Play a pretend scenario. Like a movie. Give sentences that can easily be reshaped. Example: can i have a ..... Please. .... Makes me feel ....
I understand that this approach in the video can be logical to a neurotypical person but we dont work this way.
Thanks so much for taking the time to add your input & comment! It’s definitely interesting hearing this approach, it sounds a lot like gestalt language processing, which I have another video on! Hope you’ll check that one out!
Man and my auntie don't understand my autism
I have new boyfriend
