We said words to him ALL the time. We described everything we saw, cows, corn (of course), trees, birds, pillow etc. We also made sure he was making eye contact with us as much as possible. This especially came into play when we were asking him to do things, like sit down. I'd say, "Marcus, look at me." I'd make sure I had his attention this way, it really made difference.<BR/><BR/>Have a great time in this class. I can't wait to hear how it goes.Dorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02641771360079323124noreply@blogger.com
