Look at this video program to help children to adults with autism and Down Syndrome.
Here is what they are saying:
Gemiini is available in Canada. We do have an information packet for teachers and therapists as well, just email us at info@gemiini.org
Please visit www.gemiini.org to get started. We have a scholarship program that can accommodate the financial needs of everyone, as well as a 7 day free trial. Just choose the option that best applies to your financial situation.
You will need a computer or tablet device, as well as an internet connection to utilize the program.
For a child with an emotional age of 10 years old or less, and with less than 30 words of meaningful speech, we suggest starting with Quick Start Language. Make sure that you are in the student account when you start.
Be sure to watch these two short videos to gain an understand of how to use GemIIni: the welcome video, and the QuickStart Language Instructional Video: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL859C189CC94BECD6
The student should start with Quick Start Language on 1.0 for 1 day and then one session per series each week, 3 times a day with meals. So, 2.0 for 1 week, 3.0 for 1 week, 4.0 for 1 week and so on.
To learn how to get the most out of Gemiini, please request to be admitted to this secret FB page set up by a mother. Her daughter has DS, but the group is for everyone. There are hundreds of parents discussing best use and the results are CRAZY! Please tell her that Laura sent you https://www.facebook.com/marykay.deal?fref=ts
If you set up a laptop or tablet where the child eats, then he/she should watch during meals. If the child does this 3 times each day, that will be enough to get results. Gemiini can also be used in the schools and we are finding that schools are loving it! So, don’t be shy about asking the school in implement it into the class or even for individual pull out sessions. The school’s budgets are strained and if they can provide more individualized therapy for your child at no cost to them, they will!
