Our Son Emmett turned 5 years old in March and he is still consider non-verbal. Emmett probably has less than 5 words in his verbal vocabulary. We have tried several different forms of communication for Emmett. We found that using a AAC device (Augmentative and AAC are tools or technology that help people communicate if they can’t (always) rely on speech) was the most helpful for him. Having a non-verbal child is very difficult you don't know when they are hurting and sometimes we do not understand what he needs. Emmett having a form of communication has been a priority for us. With his AAC device he is able to communicate some of his basic needs. This has relief Emmett of frustrations and meltdowns. His meltdowns decreased so much after he started to learn how to use his AAC device.
