Parents' and children's names have been changed to protect their privacy. The quotes below are the parent's own words from our private community, lightly trimmed.
Over about six months, a parent in our program saw her son move from clearer, more consistent responses to independently asking for a bath, communicating bathroom needs, saying new words, and successfully potty training. Results vary by child, but this family's story shows steady, small wins adding up over time.
| Where they started | Where they are now |
|---|---|
| In December 2025, a parent in our program shared that her son was responding more clearly and consistently than ever before, calling it a huge win for their family. | By June 2026, her son was attempting multi-word phrases on his own, saying a favorite character's name, singing into pretend microphones, and had become dry during the day and most mornings after potty training. |
A parent in our program noticed her son responding more clearly and consistently than ever before.
“He has never responded this clearly or consistently. This is a huge win for us” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
Her son led her by the hand to the bathroom and asked for a bath independently, and started throwing away his own trash without being asked.
“pointed into the bath and said " go ". He decided for himself he wanted a bath” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
He began coming to his mom when he had a dirty nappy instead of waiting to be noticed, and started saying the word for it.
“now he wants to be changed as soon as he goes and has even started to say Poo” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
Her son's words became noticeably clearer, and he showed understanding by following simple requests like getting his shoes and socks.
“I just love his little voice. Also he does actually understand these words and will go get his shoes and socks when we ask him to” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
After three weeks of potty training, he was staying dry, using the toilet regularly, and waking up dry most mornings, while also showing growing imagination in play.
“Hes staying dry peeing in the toilet every few hours hes even waking dry most mornings” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
He said a favorite character's name on his own and began attempting a multi-word phrase independently with clear tone.
“The "ready" is so clear and in the perfect tone. Ive played this back sooo many times” (parent in Six Months to Speech)
