I was just going through the list of words that Stacia can say that we can understand her at least 75% of the time.
Milk
More
Fish (fish crackers)
Cookie
Push
Bye
Papa (Grandpa)
Aba (daddy)
Mama
Oma (grandma)
Popcorn
Ba with short a sound(bath)
Ba with long a sound (sheep)
Pooh ( that lovable character Winnie the Pooh)
Me
Bebe (Baby)
Banana
Up
Ni (Night)
Hopefully we will see the list grow as she adds new words to her speaking vocabulary. She has just taken off in the last 6 months since getting her DynaVox.
She is starting to put some words together like Bye and names and she is working on saying Hi and we are working on her saying Nana without the Ba in front of it, but there is no conviencing her of it. Of course she drops a lot of the sounds in the words but at least those around her all the time can understand her words. Example Popcorn comes out like Pop k n and Cookie is Coo ke though it's hard to write what she sounds like.
We are in the process of planning a walk for Children with Childhood Apraxia of Speech for our area. The date is Saturday October 6. More information will be coming soon. Stay tuned.
