29:10\xa0What does it mean when a child starts to say random words?
Hi Dr Doreen, my son has started saying real words randomly since December and he still does it every day and with a new word or repeat what he said previously. It is not functional but what does this mean?
32:37 Does brain function ever get better for our kids?
34:53\xa0My son doesn\u2019t hum but he does make some noises. NOW, I am finally able to ask him and he gives me answer as to what he is doing. Like he\u2019ll say \u201cIm thinking about jump scares on Five Nights at Freddy\u201d. That is some video game be is really into. He plays it one hour a day but I\u2019m just happy he\u2019s able to tell me why he\u2019s doing the \u201cnoises\u201d and \u201chand flapping\u201d now. He didn\u2019t used to be able to tell me the why.
37:56 Does tongue tie impede his speech as growing? It was not a problem in my son's earlier age. Could you give any tips recovering from the tongue tie surgery?
40:27\xa0What about Stem Cells Therapies?
42:11 Noah is still non verbal now 13 years old How to I encourage Noah to go outside the house.
49:18\xa0Using the Toilet
how do I get my 4year old do number 2 in the toilet. he is good at standing to pee. but won't do #2 , he goes to get me a pull up so he can go in it. He doesn't have a problem sitting on the toilet, he just won't go.\xa0
51:51\xa0Encouraging Parents after lack of progress
Any ideas on how to convince my grandchild's parents? They are discouraged at his lack of progress and are afraid they will miss the window for teaching him necessary skills and language.
55:08\xa0Potty Training (Standing up vs Sitting Down
Do you have opinions on teaching boys to stand up to pee vs sitting down. ABA originally taught my son to sit down. So that\u2019s what he does, but times change and I had another BCBA tell me I need to teach him standing up. She made some valid points so now I\u2019m wondering do I need to go that route now? He\u2019s 14.
55:47 Any suggestions on how to stop head banging? It\u2019s decreased 70% in the last 3 years but we haven\u2019t been able to extinguish it completely.
