Matt-Man's New Voice

We haven't posted in a while.  There haven't been any major happenings in the past couple weeks.  Just normal ups and downs associated with life :) 

I did get a really neat video of Matt this morning.  He is using his "new" loud, non-singing voice to tell me that he got an 'owie'.  He does revert back to a sing-songy echolalic phrase in the next sentence, but this is some amazing progress. 

Just so you can understand how big of a deal the video clip from this morning really is, I'm going to first post a video from a couple months ago.  This first video is Matt using his sing-songy traditional echolalic manner of talking.  This is what we heard constantly for months!  I didn't know if he would ever find his real voice.

And now, here is the clip from this morning.  I am SO proud of Matt!  His hard work at school is really starting to pay off.
