What parents Say About Gemiini

We lost speech therapy for Katie before she even graduated from high school. Waiting list for waiver-funded speech therapy is backed up for years. We could never afford to pay out-of-pocket. I was left to try to provide it myself as well as all the motor therapies and academic work. Gemiini provided us an affordable, unlimited therapy that does more than speech, and sees better results than the therapists at school. Getting Gemiini was like hiring a full-time teaching assistant for a fraction of the cost. We love Gemiini‼️

Craig (29, intellectual disability, ASD, among other things) answered a WHY question this morning!!!! Ever since age 4 or 5, he would burst into laughter and we never, ever knew what he was thinking. I would always ask what was funny or why he was laughing and the best he might say would be "silly." We've been walking the dogs/feeding the chickens each night and going over concepts from Gemiini during that time. Two nights ago the grass was wet and I asked "why?" and he responded with an answer that didn't make sense. So I said "Look at the grass--it is WET. WHY is it wet?" and he said "Rain." (We had a storm earlier). I was thrilled! But it gets better! This morning he was eating breakfast and breaks into laughter. I asked what was funny--why are you laughing? He said, "You don't put jelly on your hat!" First time in 29 years I now know what made him laugh out of the blue! Immediately texted his job coach in excitement to share the news. It gets even better! Yesterday at lunch he was eating PB and J and got some jelly on his hat that he had to wipe off. So---he was remembering that, laughing about yesterday's memory, and TOLD me!!!!!!! We've been watching the quick start "wh" questions for about 2 weeks now. Happiest mom today ever!

This is the text I just got from my son’s work skill trainer: "He did wonderfully. At least two people remarked how Craig has become more vocal. One said she was impressed that Craig looked at her when talking--something I must admit I was not working on. I was very excited! I was so proud of him. Wanted to cry!" I told her I feel the same way!! We are also practicing cell phone skills. Yesterday I called him and we had an actual conversation! Granted, it was just me asking him where he was and questions about his day, but this was the first time he actually answered my questions instead of randomly saying "Craig" or "Mom."

"This is the longest conversation we've ever had. Crying happy tears!"

My little Abby asked to watch the sports video I made on Gemiini! She kept saying 'base a ball,' 'base a ball!' I finally figured out what she wanted! Thank you Gemiini for making this wonderful program available! Hearing my baby girl's sweet voice is so amazing!

My son is 27 and continues to make gains using the program on average of one hour per day. He loves it and is highly motivated in doing the program, he reminds me every weekend that he will start again on Monday. He does the program Monday thru Friday taking the weekends off. As a mom of an older child with special needs that has tried many therapies over the years- I would say this and occupational therapy have done more for my son than anything. Just remember not to expect instant results, for most it takes time and consistency. Don't be discouraged, I believe you will see some benefits for your child in due time, every child is unique and the timetable will not be the same for everyone.
