ok receptive language is often taken for granted. For example ...

Me: Hekili what would you like to eat for breakfast? Rice with soup or french toast?
Hekili: rice or french toast.
Now with lots of ABA and him learning more.
Me: would you like rice today or french toast?
Hekili: I want rice.
It is amazing when he answers because I know he understands what I asked. Every day is another step. Although he is academically gifted his use of language is behind. I am so proud when he tells me turn it off or put it on. His newest is "I'll hold it".
Take time appreciate every little word or phrase for it is a huge step!!
