Hi I wish I would have knew this 21 years ago I have 2 sons with autism they are 21&18 yes I main streamed them in school with a TSS/BSC went to therapy for speech/OT they did a great job in school & both just got their Eagle in Scouts on 8\2\2015 the 18 will be going to college on 8\18\2015 they both also are 2nd degree blue belts Tae Kwon Do
Loved this video. My son is 4yrs old and diagnosed with apraxia. He only has about 7-8 words he uses but not all the time. We have a AAC device that we just got and it basically speaks for him. He goes to speech therapy outside school also. Was wondering if this would work for helping him speak more? Would love to try this and see if it works.
hi i have a 2 year old with a genetic condition called cdkl5. she has cortical vision impairment. are these videos still suitable even though she has cvi??
How much and when can I start my son is 6 and the school district wants to heard all the autistic children into a terrible school district I want to do anything possible to prevent this! The school district is the lowest rating in the county! Willing to try anything to help make him succeed in his educational future
My 6 yr old daughter is very verbal but struggles more with syntax and word finding. She has great word association skills but says things like "white pepper" when she means "salt" or " you fall me down" if she means " you made me fall" or "you crashed something" for " you dropped something" or " my doll's a posey girl" when she means "model." I'm so tired of fighting the district's to give her appropriate services and am constantly looking for something I can better help her with at home. Does this program offer help for verbal kids like my daughter who need help with structure and conversation?
Your daughter has a very unique sense of language!! I think this is interesting and that you shouldn't be trying to fix this, as an autistic person I did the same thing when I was her age and my parents thought it was cute and made me unique, that it was a part of me that made them love me more as their child. Please appreciate your child more 💕
Hello Brock, We rarely have the opportunity to use Gemiini with people older than 19, but it has been successful when we have. Progress is very gradual, however, with older people. We work on getting consonants first, and then shape them into words, etc.
I'm an autistic young adult, about the same age as your twins, and I struggled a lot in school due to bullying and a lack of proper support. My environment wasn't the best in the first half of my life, and I've been doing better this year in particular but I still need some help. I'm very verbal but I struggle with socializing and I struggle with my emotions and many other things. Could this benefit me?
Hello, Gemiini is currently just for language, reading, and articulation, but we will be adding more social skills in the future. So, unfortunately, it isn't the best resource for your now. I do have some suggestions, however! The best way to over social anxiety is just to practice as much as possible. Safe opportunities to practice can be hard to find, but you will find English language learners very friendly and eager to engage with a native speaker. If you seek out Meetup groups for Foreign students or English learners, you may find a resource there. Also, volunteering at charity thrift stores, or with the elderly will also give you more opportunities for practice.
Hello Lara, There have been several studies conducted with Gemiini and apraxia. The results are extremely encouraging. So much so, that the therapists who has been using it with all or her patients the longest told me that it has worked with every single person in her practice to some extant. It just takes longer with older people and progress is more gradual.
Hi gemiini I have a 6 year old autistic daughter with minimal vocab of about 20-30 words Am i able to get this program in australia? I really need to try this program
Hello I have an 11yo daughter with down syndrome. She is verbal but is significantly delayed. Is there any kind of evaluation to determine where to start her on this program? I know it is recommended to give it 6 months but can a one month trial be purchased?
The tuition is on a sliding scale according to the financial situation of the person. Here is a link to the tuition and scholarships. gemiini.org/multimedia/pricing/gemiini_pricing.pdf

Is there any information about Gemiini's success with non-verbal adults. I have a non-verbal 34 year old brother and am very intrigued.

My nephew is non verbal. He is now 24 and does not live at home. Will this be beneficial for him?
I want to know if this will work on myb12 year old autistic grandson? Here is currently speaking thru an android devise!.
Jonnetta,
Gemiini could be very beneficial. It has been working for people of all ages, but progress is more gradual.
Is this available for kids who speak Arabic? I have a family member on Lebanon who goes to a special school there.
He has delayed language skills.
Does this cost?
