What parents Say About Gemiini

This was my son Zion's first attempt at playing any game with me using language - he chose to communicate in order to get me to run with him!

At the beginning of lockdown due to COVID-19, my son was non verbal. He was born deaf and has cochlear implants for 2 years already but not one word. We were struggling with him being engaged and present and he would very often just be in his own world. His speech teacher was convinced he has autism. I was at my wits end- I didn't sleep at night and had to be put on special anxiety medication because of this. Would my son ever speak? He is almost 4 years old. All the therapies that we do just don't seem to help. Then I stumbled across Gemiini on a Facebook ad and thought WOW this is probably another scam. My sister then also came across it and told me to give it a try. What's the worst that can happen, right? We started at Level 1 and after a few sessions, we noticed our boy trying to copy whatever the kids on the video would do. Mmmm, okay, so when would he start to say words? It's been 3 months and not only has communication and language started but he is engaged, more social and interactive. He uses signs and words- all thanks for Gemiini. Last week he finally said "Daddy!" Thank you- you have changed my life and because of you, I can sleep again :)

We are now into our 2nd week of using GemIIni. We have moved on from the animals as she had said many of their names + sounds and it felt like she needed a change. She has been learning about the names of the parts of the body in amongst some other things like learning to take instructions, 'sit down' 'stand' 'run'...The parts of the body videos have been great to work alongside her, as I point at the screen and say the word and then point to her nose, her chin and she giggles and she even said 'cheek', she has started to point out things too which is lovely. The words are definitely coming more easily since we have been using Gemiini but there have been other changes in Iris's behaviour, she is more interested in looking at me when I talk to her and she smiles more at me looking at my eyes and mouth which is something she generally avoids. Over the past year her eye contact has been improving but there has been a definite leap forward in that area this week. She is also starting to link a few of the words she knows together saying what she wants so a massive improvement there. Gemiini seems to not only help with the language that she is learning in the videos but gives her a boost to say the other words she has been storing away in her head over the past years.

We started Gemiini a week ago today. We are amazed at our son's progress! On the first day, he said 'bear' for the first time ever, then not much for the rest of the week... although was very interested in the videos. Today, out of the blue, started repeating all the words and actions from video 2.0. My husband and I nearly fell over! This is from a four-year-old with Autism, who only knows a few words and has a hard time speaking. Feeling super hopeful and motivated. Thank you Gemiini!!!

My 4-year-old son who barely said a word started imitating words after the first week of Gemiini now it's (been) a month and he speaks most of the animals names and their sounds. I am too grateful to Gemiini and I keep on recommending it to everyone. Thank you Gemiini without your support I wouldn't be able to afford such services.

My daughter is 21 with DS. She had reached a point where she would just look at me every time someone spoke to her. She knew they couldn't understand her. One month with Gemiini and we are seeing eye contact and voluntary greetings! She used to just parrot back the last thing we said when given a choice. Now she at least tries to say what she really wants. Gemiini is one of the best things we ever did for her I highly recommend it!!!
