What we treat
When a child repeats what you say
Some children repeat what they hear, straight away or hours later. This is echolalia, and it is communication, not noise.
Repeating is a stage, not a fault
Many children pass through it on the way to their own sentences.
We use the scripts
If your child repeats a line from a video, that line is a tool we can build on.
We look for the function
Each repeated phrase usually asks for something. We find out what.
