My son is completely nonverbal. No singing, etc. I really hope this works for him.
Thank you for explaining about unreliable speech. I think this is more misunderstood than even nonspeaking.
Totally agree with you Tonya
So cool. My son is non verbal autistic and we are teaching him how to spell. He’s gonna be 10 in January
Gregory, you are an inspiration. Our daughter had her first S2C session two days ago and she nailed it! We've never seen her this happy and excited. We always knew she was smart; now she can let everyone know. All the best to you ❤
Love you Gregory. 10 year old Ben is just starting to learn to spell with the letterboard….you are such an encouragement! God bless you dear boy!
Gday from Australia Gregory, Im homing in on the day my son Spiro can start his journey as well, thank you so much for the inspiration you and your family are spreading far and wide! Its all so exciting! Spiro will be 21 soon and i can think of nothing better than this for him.
Congratulations!! We are also spellers and so much is happening!! Its miraculous ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing your story Gregory! You are inspiring!
I am hoping at some point my daughter can do this: We tried for a bit but she never spelled anything. I’m not sure she can but I’m gonna try to start working on some things with her again.
I think that doctor looked a little choked up💕
My son Daniel will be 24 next week we are attending Speller Conference on the 20-22 of July in 2 weeks. will you be there by chance? You remind me so much of him and I went last year to the conference for the first time. Cannot wait for him to meet the community so that we can go to the next level! Thank you for sharing and giving me hope that I can do what your mom is doing!!
I love all your videos, Gregory! Keep 'em coming, you're such a good educator.
Thank you for sharing! My first thought is that someone should develop a keyboard for computers that is just like your letterboard, the same size and layout but with buttons. Or has that already been done? My guess is that such a keyboard would make working with computers much easier for someone with apraxia. Is that a good guess or am i missing something?
It would be good for apraxia but I think it would be difficult to develop. You are onto a good idea though.
I was thinking the same thing.
My thoughts exactly!….we have been looking for a keyboard like you suggest for our non verbal grandson.
I love that you are educating the world about autism. Keep it up!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring younger spellers and their parents!!!
Love this video, Tino! Danny admires your efforts to share more about that letterboard life. Thank you for sharing!
This makes me so happy
thank you Gregory you are an inspiration, truly
I loved watching this!! Thank you for sharing this beautiful message!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your story and for your inspiration!
So awesome!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the video
At 3:00, what precisely are you using? Is this a keyboard (Bluetooth?) and iPad? What app are you using on your iPad? Thank you for all your videos!
This response is coming from Gregory's mom.....it is an apple magic keyboard which is bluetooth. I connected it to my laptop and he is typing into a google document. At the end of the video the keyboard is then connected to the app on my phone called Proloquo 4 Text
@@gregoryctino558 Thank you! My son is used to a regular keyboard, but has TD Snap, not Proloquo4Text. Trying to give him optimal way to communicate!
What is your schedule for releasing videos? it has been three weeks since the last video.
I don't really have a schedule but I am working on another one now. I will release it in another month or two.
@@gregoryctino558 I can wait a little longer.
How young were you when you could have used this communication if someone had given you the board. I teach 3 and 4 year olds that I know read and understand everything we are teaching, but other school colleagues tell me it’s not functional reading. Although I have repeated this statement, I do not believe it is not functional. Are these kids too young to use this board.
This is Linda Tino (Gregory's mom) answering.....I also agree with you that it is functional reading. When my son was young, he could read anything I put in front of him but I wondered if he understood. Now I realize that he did all along. I do know that they have started children as young as 5 or 6 on the letterboard as long as they were able to read. It also depends on how well they can sit to attend. My son started at age 24 but I wish I had started much younger. The ones I know that started young are well ahead of the curve and using the keyboard now.

Why not just type into a text to speech type system as you go?
The letterboard is successful for people with apraxia because it uses gross motor of the upper arm to point. This is easier for people with apraxia when they are first learning. Once they master the letterboard the next step is to learn the keyboard which uses fine motor. The keys are much smaller than the letters on a letterboard and they are closer together so this is more difficult for them. My son, Gregory is currently learning to use the keyboard with a text to speech system and is doing very well with it. There is a progression of skills using the method (S2C) which helps spellers to become successful if they follow it.
Great video, but yikes, please don't get anymore booster shots!
Oh yes, I wanted to cry.
So many toxins.
not okay to spread misinformation like that. Vaccinations are one of the best tools we have against disease.
@@8dreamersfarm vaccines do not have "toxins." they're carefully studied medicines.
This has nothing to do with booster shots. Stop misinformation
You are a very sick person. Leave your science denying nonsense out of this amazing person's life.
