Hi Rachel, That is so cool !!! Our twins have been in speach threapy for years, and one thing that they do, is drink from a straw. It's supposed to help them contol their mouth muscles and speak better. I believe that this is showing that Aiden is getting better control of his mouth muscles....a major step toward speech. Congratulations!!! Cris
Awesome! It is so good to see him sucking on that straw, that's progress! Our OT runs her first two fingers along the side of our client's cheeks downward and forward towards his mouth to "wake the muscles up"! And sings we're gonna wake, wake, wake the muscles up, wake,wake wake the muscles up! The child loves it! Best of luck with the behavior modification sessions. Some of our non-verbal clients also hit themselves. They get so frustrated. I feel for Aiden. He is in my prayers. God Bless, Andrea
