  • I know that the words are in the animation, but is there a particular reason otherwise why this doesn't have a caption track? I'm willing to provide one for you if you like.

  • Very clever and entertaining. I like the way it emphasizes using core words and the importance of speech. I enjoyed the presentation and format.

  • I love this video. My husband even asked why we don't actually teach students how to "talk" with A.T. That's a great question for most teachers. Thanks for this!!!

  • totally fantastic!!!!!!! Congratulations to all involved

  • wonderful!! and don't forget about assisted typing. so many people with autism can read and can learn to type their thoughts. a little motor planning support can free the person.

  • Wow, when I was making this with you guys I never thought it could touch so many people like this. I am truly amazed and I hope this issue soon becomes something of the past. Everyone deserves the right and ability to speak.

  • Michael, this is too wonderful! I am going to use this to illustrate and inspire how we need to change our thinking with these very unique learners. Any thoughts on getting AAC role models in the US? Molly

  • This is the best! Great message, great delivery!

  • Thanks for telling the truth!!!

  • Awesome. Can't wait to share it with school teams! Thank you!

  • Awesome piece of work. So true - and still fun to watch. Brilliant!!

    How long did it take you to produce it??

  • Thank you! We had 7 days with animator Vivien. Our gang got together lots of times to plot plan and do the art

  • Can I have permission to use your video in a presentation for my technology in education class? I need to embed it in a presentation and then my presentation will be placed on my blog. Thank you.

  • @mammatrouble I hope you got my message that we are happy for you to use Language Stealers? It never appeared here on the page and I wrote 3 times. A friend said it might be because I put a link in the message - to Language Stealers on my iDisk space where you can download it. Thank you for liking and sharing!

  • @mammatrouble My friend was right. I can't post here with my iDisk URL even spelled out in words! my user name at me com is michaelbreed if that helps.

  • @mammatrouble My friend was right. I can't post here a link even spelled out in words! my name at pu blic me etc is michaelbreed if that helps.

  • Another great video. Thanks for all your hard work!

  • This video is awesome. It made me laugh and cry. It made me cry because when my daughter got her first device, she was so happy to be able to say some things. Then we sent it to school and the speech person made new screens that were the only ones she was supposed to use at school. Yes. No. Good Morning. Her words were stolen from her.

    You go! Keep saying these truths!

  • We've cried too. By year 11 we got speech and 1 teacher to use 300-500 core words with Michael. New speech reduced to Yes. No. Good Morning. And a pre-stored message for Monday morning. Then I use... I have... i want... and I like... and adjective - noun phrases like Orange Wall. Blue Door. TO KEEP IT MANAGEABLE FOR SCHOOL! His last year was Register Please. Here Register. Naming each item for lunch. And now and then asking each classmate What are you doing? Tonight? Michael's Mum, Terry.

  • Fantastic. Well Done You All. Its So Right. That Certain School In Co Durham, are we allwoed to stay it. Should be exposed and shut down. Its nothing more than abuse of SEN children.

    Well Done xx

  • Haha! Bruce the angel! I love it!!!

  • Good one Michael! Funny too, loved it.

    Who are the angels? Some of them looked familiar.....

  • Thank you! The angels are called Bruce, Janice, Karen, Katya, Tony and Gail - Baker, Light, Hill, Jones and Van Tatenhove.

  • Micheal - you are too kind.

  • Thank you!

  • I love this! You're right. Language is not just for naming things.

  • Thank you!
