What parents Say About Gemiini

"I would like to say that this program is the best thing that has happened to my family. My son who was non verbal in any way is now saying up to 25+ words. Today we were watching dog videos on youtube and he said dog and proceeded to make sounds like a dog. I teared up with joy. I am beyond happy that I took the leap of faith and clicked on the more info tab on Facebook. This has been an amazing journey."

It's so important to start Gemiini as early as possible. This mom started early with her son, then saw an unexpected benefit after her young daughter started talking too! Stacy Elliott Van Tassel (Parent)
"We knew Cody especially would be slow to talk, but we could see how closely he paid attention to Gemiini. We knew it was getting through and we knew eventually it would come back out. Lainey benefitted from seeing these videos from a very early age, because she would watch them with Cody during snack time. Once we realized she was probably on the spectrum too we were so thankful she'd been exposed to Gemiini all along. Thank you all so much for everything you do. Please know that what you do when you go to work everyday is making real differences in real peoples' lives!"

In the past two days, my grandson Logan, for the first time, pet a dog. It was an actual stroke of the fur from head to hinney, twice. He also held and hugged, for a couple of minutes, a stuffed animal. He is 2 years 9 months old. This is huge. He has been using Gemiini since Nov. '15. He continues to be without words but his social interaction and eye contact has improved immensely.

Lydia is an spunky, sweet, music loving 4 year old that was diagnosed with ASD, dyspraxia, and SPD just after her 2nd birthday. She had, up until recently, been qualified as non-verbal as well. She had some words and sounds that people with her regularly occasionally could understand. We knew she could understand more than she could say. We started Gemiini on a trial basis in January of this year. Within a week Lydia was making more eye contact, trying to initiate interactions with peers and adults across her home and school environment. She was watching people’s mouths when they were speaking. She began to babble and tell stories, only those of us with Lydia regularly could understand, but she was telling them. We knew we needed to continue this journey. In March Lydia would come home from school or aquatic therapy and tell me stories. One word here and there in a sequence that she wanted me to to repeat to be sure I understood, (“Pool” “You went to the pool?” “Water” “You went swimming in the water?” “Under” “You went under the water in the pool today?”). We were having a conversation! Both of us were excited and she told the story all night. In April, she grabbed her brother’s microphone, brought it into the living room and sang all of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. We were all so proud that she sang it to us for 20 minutes straight, scanning the room each time she began to be sure all eyes were on her and if they weren’t, she would shout a, “Hey!” to command her audience and begin. At a recent team meeting with her preschool, everyone raved about how amazing they felt she had improved in the past few months. They had done a mini language inventory for a few days and she was talking up a storm and imitating just about anything. She had improved to minimally verbal and thriving in that short time! We are so gratefully the program. She has favorite lessons and watches them anywhere!

I cannot even express how grateful I am for your kindness. Gabe truly loves them. I am so, so very happy that I can give the site to his teacher and he can integrate them into his class. Today was such an emotional and hard day dropping him off, you have brought a ray of light to it, and indeed, to Gabe's life. Gabe watches the videos every day before school, sometimes at school with his speech therapist. I believe they've really helped to center him because he is doing well in school and it has taken much less time than I anticipated for him to make such a drastic change in his routine. Gabe is vocalizing more, though he is not saying full words yet. Thank you a million times over. To have it is a Godsend, and so are you. Thank you. Thank you.

Ceris (rhymes with Paris) is 8 and has Down Syndrome, CAS, a protruding tongue, hypotonia, and Autism. She has had ST, OT, and PT since she was a baby. She has had swallow studies, sleep studies, and she is currently scheduled for another swallow study. We have done home therapy, gone to specialists outside of the home for ST/OT/PT as well. We've tried the preschool prep, abcmouse.com, we've tried where you put her hand on our throats to feel the vibrations. She's never been interested. Then we heard about Gemiini, and have been using it since September of 2015. We were about to cancel it in July of 2016 because she just wasn't interested in it. We were broken. When we really didn't have anywhere else to turn, we realized that Ceris is just a late bloomer. For example, even with all the therapies, she didn't even start walking until she was 3 1/2. So Gemiini was the only thing she was any sort of interested in. So we started picking up the pieces. Although she is still not at a conversational place yet, she will get there, and we have Gemiini to thank for that. I’m so glad we didn't give up. Honestly, I cannot express how heartbreaking it is to tell my daughter I love her and she not say it back. She now says, "Hi" to everyone she knows. She says "bye-bye" she literally started waving last week. She is not potty trained, but she says "pee-pee” when she wants to go potty. She can say lion, fish, monkey & makes the ooh-ohh ahh-ahh monkey sound. She can say green, purple, blue. She can say rectangle, triangle. She can SING her ABC's and she can COUNT to TEN! Although she doesn't say, "I love you" yet, she says "Nite-nite" since using Gemiini, she follows instructions more, such as paying attention when we are at the store, or wherever and she will stay in line at school. She stays in her seat more at school, and she is more attentive in general. She used to be mostly in her own little world, but now things are just starting to 'click' with her. We are unbelievably grateful for Gemiini. They say having a child with special needs is like taking the scenic route. You still get to where you are going. It may take a little longer, but it will be well worth the trip. And Ceris is an amazing tour guide. I stated earlier that we were broken. Well, Gemiini has truly been a piece we've been missing. As you know, progress is progress, no matter how slow you go. Gemiini has helped us become whole, and Ceris will be very verbal with time and practice (and lots of patience & faith)."
