What professionals Say About Gemiini

Just wanted to thank you and your team for your enthusiasm and work with our team. I had an experience with one of my students that helped me see the power of Gemiini in a way I hadn’t experienced before. All I can say is “WOW”! With the right kiddo and the right coach helping navigate the system, the possibilities are quite exciting. This nonverbal little boy was repeating the entire sequence of the bubbles social script minus the words…most of the gestures were spot on. And it was the social scripts that piqued his interest, not the lessons about specific words/vocabulary. Quite fun to watch as a clinician! Stay tuned…this will be a fun ride for everyone I have a feeling.

I saw these kids in June at the end of school and they started using GemIIni over the summer. I can’t believe the improvement they made over summer! I have been working with some of them for 3 years and to see them talking now is incredible

Hello Everybody- I just wanted to post something very interesting with one of my patients who is using GemIIni. This a boy with autism, 11 years-old, who has had no functional language (mostly some babble, and some approximations for "Ma Ma" with the /m/ sound). I was doing an in home observation today. He was watching GemIIni and he saw the word "milk" on the screen. He turned to me while watching the video and smiled, saying "mmm..iii...llk!" and stood up, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took out the milk carton. He looked at me again and said "milk" and I got him a glass of milk, poured one for the both of us, and we sat there with huge smiles talking about the milk we were drinking. This was probably the quickest generalization of a GemIIni video I've ever seen. Awesome.

From Oregon, USA: Today I started Gemiini as a group in a class with 10 kids with autism. During the VERY FIRST video, one of the kids who has never said a word before in his life said "bear!" And he did the sign! I ran up to him and said "yes buddy! That's a bear!" He looked at me with the biggest smile ever and said again "bear!" Then, for the first time ever, he went up to a peer and gave a high 5. The teacher was stunned. I was in the class consulting for a few hours and our star student said "bear" 29 more times! I left the class before the second viewing but tomorrow morning I will return and I just can't wait to see the progress! This was IMMEDIATE acquisition upon viewing Gemiini. Even after two years of using Gemiini, these successes still bring me tears of joy! Week One UPDATE: 50% of this class is now talking! These students who were all non-verbal just a week ago and are now creating vocal verbal speech. The school wants me to train the entire district on Gemiini after seeing this in action for just one week.

My classes are getting into this Gemiini thing! The seventh grade class laughed at the spelling/vocabulary videos, and I thought they considered it dorky. Then they said, "Oh, no. We like this!" I was going to have them do the game in pairs, but they asked if they couldn't do it as a class on Tuesdays using the projector! That will work better than in groups. About a half hour after we'd finished, I heard one of them repeating "aquatic" to himself, slowly and carefully. His brain was repeating what he'd heard even many minutes afterwards... this should be helpful!”

I am a Speech and Language Pathologist who has been fortunate enough to have had experience using The Gemiini Program. I began using it with my students with Autism Spectrum Disorder almost 3 years ago. Most were nonverbal and displayed significant behaviors. While using the program I immediately noticed better attention and increased vocalization. Since that time, I started working at another Charter School for students with ASD. When the COVID-19 school shutdown occurred, we were forced to figure out and learn how to best educate and service our students remotely. I immediately thought of Gemiini and discussed it with the director. I contacted Gemiini and explained our predicament and my goal to facilitate therapy using Gemiini as a tool. It was THE BEST decision I ever made. To be able to connect to my parents and students through this distance learning platform was amazing! Not only were the parents excited, but it turned out the therapists on my team were too. The training for the team was all online and seamless. Onboarding students was effortless. It was easy to select the videos and assignments and align them with the student’s IEP goals. Training, collaborating with and supporting the parents was easy to do remotely and made all the difference in the world. All students were given this opportunity- but only the ones who consistently engaged and participated made the progress. So easy for everyone- just click play and run the videos assigned. Whether the child watched intently or just listened to it while it played, progress was made. Data was easily gotten when the parents tested at the end of each video. I could monitor progress daily. I would then add or modify the assignments based on progress. The feedback I continue to get from the families is ALL POSITIVE. Live 1:1 or group instruction via distance learning proved everything I was hearing- nonverbal students were now verbal thanks to Gemiini in the home: Some making sounds, some making words and some making SENTENCES! Decreases in echolalia. Increases in ability to answer questions. All were participating, attending and having fun. The parents have never been happier. They claim without Gemiini their children would not have progressed at the rate they did. I have continued to use it for distance learning this summer and look forward to using it again when school opens in August- either remotely, in person or a hybrid approach. It is too easy NOT to use, and the results are undeniable. Gemiini has never ceased to amaze me. Thank you Gemiini!
