Language Holes Filling In

I was so encouraged by Demi's speech session this past week. Her therapist was talking to her for a while, just practicing different things in the course of conversation as she always does.
After that conversation, she was raving over Demi's "conversation repair" which is the part of speech development where you correct your conversation partner if they get something wrong or don't understand what you're saying. Demi did it several times over the course of the session.
Her therapist was so happy to see it because it's a higher level language skill which shows more awareness of the conversation and the partner than she had seen before. She said that just a month ago, she had seen lots of holes in Demi's speech and language development, but now the holes seem to be filling in!
I mentioned the NCD and she thought it really might be working. She did not know that Demi had been taking anything before she mentioned the great improvement.
Currently, Demi is taking NCD to get rid of toxins as well as fish oil and Juice Plus to fill her body with good nutrients.
I'm so happy to see such great improvement in her!
