A local NGO concerned with providing care to parents of autistic children and an international organisation specialised in using video modelling to improve language and skill development for children with disabilities are coordinating their efforts in Jordan to bring this therapy to the region.
Here's an update to the story of young artist Iris Halmshaw. She's continued with the Gemiini program for her speech therapy and is making progress, in addition to her spectacular artwork.
A skeptical mom tries Gemiini for the first time.
"He started to imitate the animal sounds within the first 3 days. The signs started to click in every so often as well. I was shocked! Was this my child? Is he really making these noises and sticking his tongue out like a lizard? It really was and I couldn’t believe it.
By 7 days when I was writing out all the improvements I had seen, I was beyond thrilled. Almost bringing me to tears that we were seeing progress."
This mom and her son, Alex, are just two weeks into using Gemiini!
"We have started making Gemiini part of our regular routine. Alex is loving it so far, and I am seeing so many results because of it. We have started watching it 6 times per day. He now can sign all the animals and do the noises with them. He also has attempted to say lizard!!"
Portland State University published results of a study comparing Gemiini's DVM system to a standard SVM system.
