I'm a Special Ed teacher and we use talker's all the time. My daughter was taught at a early age to respect. I've worked for my school 21 years now and love every minute all my kids are very special to me. Lol my school kids. I only have one that belongs to me.

Her asking for a PB&J and orange made me so happy !!! Hahaha yay. Im so glad she seems to direct her own life more with the ability to communicate. :))

Braylee is communicating so much better. My Turn was so plain. Your getting so big girl. You as parents Rock

Little Miss Independent! You go, girl!

I don’t typically comment on videos but hearing what you said about having a voice gave me a big sigh of relief. People should have access to having a voice. I use AAC most days as I am partially non verbal / non-verbal at times, with autism and heaps of other things; and like the the good description you explained what happens, it is very difficult to transfer thoughts into words (sometimes it feels like I will never be able to speak again). It is really hard for people to understand that sometimes I can’t speak even though they know I can but at the time I actually can’t 😩. I recently wanted to find out why this is happening to me and found an article which gave me such relief of someone with a similar experience. Watching your KZfaq channel as well as Fathering Autism has really helped me understand myself so much more and showing family your videos helps them understand too. I am so excited for your family especially Braylee to get Norton, your very soon to come service dog! In your week summary video I leapt out of my bed seeing the picture of him!!!! I am currently raising money for my own service dog and am really excited for it but right now it is a long way off. Keep doing what you are doing, you are helping so many people all around the world have a better understanding and are very engaging channel to watch. Sending much love from Australia ❤️

Braylee is adorable, she looks like snowwhite! I love her nice colorful coat

I have autism and am mostly verbal. But I find typing and using AAC devices help me get my point across better in some situations. So I use one when I’m in an environment that brings on a lot of stress. I didn’t know October was AAC awareness. I didn’t even know that there was an awareness month for AAC. That is so cool! Thanks for this video!!! I appreciate it!!!

I just did a communication matrix with an AAC expert for my 3 year old, nonverbal son. She said he's the perfect candidate for an AAC device. He has been using lots of signs and pictures, but this will help him expand his vocabulary and make it so that anyone can understand him, even if they don't know signs. We're going to borrow a device from his speech therapy center and see how it goes! I'm so excited. Thank you for sharing Braylee using one. It's so amazing to see how useful they are. And about the insurance fight, I'm gearing up for it. To me it's heartbreaking that they will probably deny it. It's like denying a wheel chair for a child who can't walk (yes, I know they do that too). It's just heartbreaking.

My nephew had a little girl named Abby in his 2nd grade last year who had Autism and used an AAC and thought it was so cool that she had a "robot" voice oh 8 year old. He loved hanging out with her at recess. He told me he took turns one day he would run around and be crazy with one set of friends and the next day he would sit with Abby since she did not like to run around. He has a big heart and I think he just understood because he had a significant speech delay (he had no words until 4) and social skill delay, he still has communicated issues but is working hard at that.

I love the idea of teaching children about these device's. When we got my Niece one with touch chat on it we had people from the organization that provided come into her classroom and do a whole lesson on it and brought in extras for the students to practice having conversations only using the devices so they all understood what it was about and how to interact with her. I hope that school boards across the world could do this not just in London Ontario Canada.

No worries B...I feel like that every morning. You got this Girl!

Yes teach your children what these devices are.Teach your kids starting at an early age.that was great advice.

both my kiddos know what aac devices are due to the fact that my oldest uses one. His 2 yr old brother does tend to like to take it away from him or want to engage with him on it often. Its still a learning curve for both of them but they help so much. my son went from using pecs to flourishing his development of speech through his device. Now he trying to actually verbally say new words all within a year. we are so proud and thankful for how much his aac device has given him a voice.

Yes my grandson uses gotalk now when he needs help talking or doesn’t feel good or feel like talking

Hi WeeFam👋🏼 I’m also from MN!! Your family is amazing and spreading so much awareness. Thank you so much for all you guys do each and everyday. Keep it up! That little girl of yours is changing the world.

Reach for the stars astronaut Braylee 🤩

Yas! AAC devices are so special and needed. Many of my clients use them even though they are verbal and can communicate regularly - those overwhelming situations you mentioned are where those devices are so important.

You've already added Norton to her talker!!! (I haven't even had time to watch the long vlog yet.)

Braylee is beyond adorable, such a cute age

Awwww I got distracted by the catty 1:50:D

Love this video!! Thank you for sharing! AAC is so amazing. My 3 year old started using it in ST a month ago and she's really getting the hang of it well. We're actually picking her up a new iPad this weekend and getting the software for her to use at home. Can't wait!

I've been thinking about getting a speech app for my ipad because whenever I have a meltdown or am stressed/panicky it's really hard for me to talk and often I just don't want to

I love when she talks on it it’s good for her

Love her lil dance moves happy late bday B 🙌🏻

I'm glad Braylee is enjoying the device app. I hope she sees chris ulmer of sbsk.

Braylee has good dance moves.✌✌🙏💕🤗

Thank you for that awareness!! It never occurred to me that other kids may attempt to take such a thing. But it makes sense, now that you talked about it! Peace and love, have an awesome rest of your week. Weekend will be here before ya know it.💝💖💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

My kid (10 years old) knows about acc because she watches your videos...funny thing is I didn't introduce her to your videos.i heard your voice coming from her room and went in to check on her and she was watching your videos lol she says your daughter looks fun to play with so she watches the videos

Hi Braylee, my name is Anna. I find your family inspiring and I want to meet you someday. I am also on the Autism Spectrum, but what I have is called Aspergers.

That's one thing I have not taught my kids about is speaking devices. My kids would never go and take anything from another kid, but I still want to teach my kids about what is it.

Love the vlog definitely agree everyone does deserve a voice and your so right it shouldn’t b so hard to be able to get these devices 🧩💛

You guys are awesome, keep up the good work! Thank you for making this video and bringing awareness about speech devices.👍 My daughter has a speech device aka her talker. Having a speech device was a game changer! She uses her talker, sign language and she knows how to say a few words that we clearly understand. Giving her the power of communication is everything 🥰

My son is using a AAC device in speech therapy . They are going to evaluate him to get one hopefully soon since he is getting the hang of it real fast . I can’t wait til he owns one

Thanks for the awareness about the "talker". Best part of the video for me was hearing braylee say Norton. and I heard it a couple of times. so cute and so exciting. she knows who Norton is!! Have a good day wee family.

Bless you and your family take care be safe around around there

Thank you for this video it is very helpful in helping me make my decision and very informative.

Her jacket is cute

Aww she looks so cute

Cool video

One of the world's greatest scientists of all time, Stephen Hawking, had a speaking device attached to his motorized wheelchair.

love love love this video,,,,, i semi verbal like braylee!!! want get aac save up money, ipad so much money :') make me happy feel seen . you are good good dad

B.. I loooooovvee your astronaut onsie!! I would love one!

Thank you

I don't have kids but i love the message of awareness for everybody is good to learn how to interact in that situation

Maybe teach your child to ask them how they are and hopefully have a positive human interaction! Like teach them that it's OK for them to communicate that way and it will also be a opportunity for our children that use the divice to interact with them too! Just a idea 💡 take it or leave it !

I see you already added Norton to her AAC! Do you buy the pre-made crustless PB & Js for her? With kids learning about AAC devices, it's totally different now than when I was a kid. Most of the devices I see these days are typical tablets with specialized software. When I was a kid, they were typically these large clunky machines

I Am getting a new communication device soon ! I am a sensory seeker! My friend better watch out in case I want something he will probably be like oh do you want something! If I ask for tickles he will probably be like oh you do ! Okay come here

Hi! Can you tell me where did you buy that orange pillow that she was using to press her belly? My son would love it! Thank you.

Where did you get the iPad case?

I didnt know there was a awareness month! So cool! My daughter uses touch chat. I'm still waiting for funding to come though to get our own but we have a loaner one atm which is great but it sounds like a adult english women lol I can't wait to get her own set up to sound more appropriate for her age.

🙂 Great video! Braylee looked fantastic in her astronaut pajamas! So glad she has an AAC device.It will help her a lot. Love you all and God bless✝️❤️

My student is 8 and nonverbal and does not use her AAC device. Any advice?

My Alexa went off wanting to play 21 pilots and it would be 2.99 a month for music.

I have a question, does the child have to master or have fluency to obtain an AAC device? My son is 7 been fighting will they school. They tell me he is not ready.

I think I might look into this item. I'm fighting with my son school right now. There teacher that's trying to get my son removed and homeschool. And I been so stressed over this. And hardly sleep in last few days and done more crying then like to. Person has gotten my question my parenting of him and made me feel beaten down. To point I'm about to get lawyer involved not right what they are doing.

Have a wonderful day!

My son speech therapist just recommended this device.... in your opinion would you say it helps? Or do the child become reliant on it?

I hope she's doing okay.

So cool to see involved Dads! My son is that with my 3 yo granddaughter like Braylee. I just bought an iPad Gen 5. Hope all ACC software can be added onto it. *$ in short supply!) Do you prefer the I-Pad mini? Braylee talks soooooo well!

Do you have a screen protector on her AAC iPad Mini? If you don’t I recommend getting one...it will keep the screen from getting scratched

Useful tech

When i get overwhelmed or meeting strangers out in public i struggle to talk even with my partner there i just shut down and can only say yes or no, it's really hard.

Does she still sing? Also what do you feel decreased her verbally? I noticed in prior video she talked more?

How long did it take Braylee to use aac device? She seems very comfortable with it.Is this the same thing Abbie uses from “fathering autism”loved seeing her doing so well today!❤️

I have acomadations at my school now :)

Victoria need a new communication AAC Device for me. I can’t communicating my words out. I did order on Amazon already

Thsnk you for this video...i am searching for this device hier in Germany and i need information..my son is 6 years old ...he is nonverbal ..we need to give voice to this children..Here in Germany is very slow process and i hate this..Please share more info about this device 🙏

I don’t understand how she’s able to use a communication device but she can’t speak I am really confused here could somebody explain? Because she obviously understands what’s going on around her if she understands and she knows that oppresses buttons but how come she can’t speak

My 7 years old daughter is autistic and she doesn’t talk yet. I wish if there is an app that I could change the voices and letters to Arabic, our native language. Most of the AAC apps are in English.

Are there any AAC apps on both Apple and Android phones I just got a U shaped toothbrush today

Wow

I have a speech problem

OMG if those are the cutest best PJs ever!!! where did you get them?

Lol, looks like shes wearing an among us pajamas onesie. I know that's not the among us pjs. Just looks like it to me.

If my para has me next year he will probably be like okay Anna! What do you want if I push peanut butter and jelly sandwich he will probably be like here you go ! Nice asking Anna you love those stuff

I like 21 pilots but i don't want my Alexa to play while watching 😂.(I know you did it on purpose)

i have a friend who always trys t aking my phone

My name is Victoria

First

Hello how are you today

search for talkytags they are a small handy set of phrase tage / aac devices
