Communication breakthrough

Communication for Ben is one of his biggest challenges and the root of most of his self injuring behavior. People talk about the terrible two's - a time when their child is limited in speech so they see a lot of meltdowns. Imagine a 7-year old with the inability to get what he wants because of his physical limitations, no speech, no way to make any vocal noises and a very limited sign language base/understanding. No wonder he is so frustrated. We have worked on signing Ben's whole life and he has definitely been improving. But getting spontaneous signs is hard and getting him to combine more than one sign together is even harder. With that being said, Ben just signed at school ALL ON HIS OWN " want more drum"!!!! This is HUGE for him!!!
