SCHUYLER'S MONSTER: Coraline, ala Schuyler

Schuyler tells a short version of the story of the movie "Coraline".

In the past, I've posted video of Schuyler in which a lot of people said "Oh, I can understand her just fine!" The reality of Schuyler's speech, however, is that removed from predictable context, it becomes much more challenging. I will say that in this video, I can understand more than I can't, and I'm sure Julie would be able to as well. But this will give you a more accurate picture of how she speaks.

And how much fun she is, too.

She is so sweet! Funny at the end! : )

I love it! Thanks for sharing this, it's not only that she's a lovely kid, but it's also important and useful that we can hear her speech, which seems to be beautiful but 'non-functional' except to you and Julie (and any others?). Her confidence to communicate and generally in these videos impresses me a lot and I notice how you are a very strong listener. My son Kingsley will be interested in this and he will learn from it about his own challenges and needs. James Henry.

She has a beautiful laugh. :)

It's oddly fitting somehow that the soundtrack to Coraline consists of songs sung in nonsense syllables rather than real words. ;-)

Thanks for posting this. My 4 year old also has BPP and he sounds very similar, though he doesn't talk in sentences yet. We keep getting comments from "friends" that he would be perfectly normal if we'd just put him in public school. Apparently homeschooling is the debil and causes brain malformations. -eyeroll-

This is really cute. I just read your blog and it's great how positive and loving you are about your daughter's situation. I want to work with special needs kids and it's wonderful to see someone who has a sense of humor and appreciates their kid for the way they are.
