Hi and thank you for your wonderful show. We are in Norway and currently don\'t have Aba, we do intend to travel and start again soon. My son can imitate gross motor, fine motor, oral motor, 2 step imitation and can verbally imitate all phonics except m and n, he can also discriminate between 1 or 2 sounds in verbal imitation, yet we we struggle to blend sounds. I know there\'s no easy answer but any advice on how to start would be greatly appreciated.
