#351: Her Granddaughter Wasn't Talking—Then Tracy Learned What to Do

So when years ago, 20 years ago, Tracy brought her two-year-old twins to me and to learn the techniques, well, mostly to help her write it out.

And I do remember you being at my old house in the basement.

And I remember like getting a cookie and breaking it into 10 pieces and So we could have like 10 trials of cookie, cookie, cookie, those sorts of things.

And this is back before there was any recording besides like hitting a recorder.

Literally, that's how we wrote the book proposal initially is I would record my voice, mail it to Tracy.

She would take a transcription and then she would write it.

And Tracy's an excellent writer and Our actually, our first book got some awards and book reviews and it has, you know, well surpassed any expectation, you know, in multiple languages and everything like that.

So, so then fast forward when Tracy contacted me about two months ago, um, her, her granddaughter, um, Cece was delayed.

I was thinking about doing this five-week Tamora Talking program.

And when she contacted me and said, you know, she had this little granddaughter who wasn't saying anything, wasn't really even babbling that much, no diagnosis.

And she was worried, you were worried, Tracy, that your daughter Hannah was having another baby and she was due any day or within a couple of weeks.

And you watch Cece every single day, usually Monday through Friday.

And Tracy is the one who provides a lot of structure during the day.

And she really didn't want to wait until after the baby was born.

And she just reached out like what she could, could she do? So at that point, Maybe I didn't know about the five weeks that was brewing in my mind.

So I I said, well, you could take the toddler course and that sort of thing.

But then when I was just like, you know what, let's do the five weeks to more talking.

We'll use Cece as a little model because Tracy was fine with video as well as her mom.

Hannah was fine with us talking.

using videos, um, to document kind of the procedures.

So I even got online with Tracy on zoom one night, um, to have her do the Becca assessment online, uh, To, you know, kind of see her thought process because I developed the Becca assessment, which you're going to learn about and do this week in week one, but I wanted to see somebody go through it and, and it was pretty easy, right.

To do that.

It was easy, but we did find a few things that like, I didn't understand.

So.

Right.
