That is great news and also very interesting re the treatment.
We saw a speechie with DD#3 when she was maybe 12 months old, I felt she seemed to have some sort of issue getting going with talking. She did, she was deaf from dirty great lumps of wax in her ears, now every time her diction devolves I go see the ENT who hoicks a rock out of her ear. Back then speechie laughed at me because her speech was technically so advanced for her age, but did none the less give the simplification advice. And we used that advice a little bit, when we felt like she was trying to mimic us and getting overwhelmed by the length and complexity of what we were saying (she repeats everything she hears verbatim almost to the point I have worried about echolalia). That judicious simplification when parental instinct said "She's trying to mimic and it's too hard, simplify". That was helpful, but there was no way we could have or would have gone for simplified speech ALL the time or with pushing really hard with single words.
