Majiteľka tejto fenky ju naučila komunikovať prostredníctvom zvukovej dosky, pozná 29 slov a tvorí aj vety!

Asi každý majiteľ domáceho maznáčika sníval o rozhovore s ním. Zdá sa to byť čudné, no Christina Hunger si našla cestu, ako to dosiahnuť. Táto 26-ročná žena komunikuje so svojím domácim miláčikom cez zvukovú dosku vyrobenú na mieru.

Má 18-mesačnú fenku menom Stella. Kedykoľvek chce vyjadriť svoje myšlienky a pocity, len stúpi na gombíky obsahujúce slová, ktoré Christina zaznamenala a naprogramovala do zariadenia. Je to skutočne zaujímavý vynález, ktorý dokáže zázraky. Vďaka nemu Stella dokáže povedať svojej majiteľke napríklad to, kedy je unavená a potrebuje si zdriemnuť, kedy má hlad alebo chce ísť na prechádzku. Stella je tiež úžasná študentka. Nielenže pozná 29 slov, ale dokáže zostaviť aj celé vety!

Last night, right before this video was taken, I accidentally said “ball” on Stella’s device while I was actually reaching for a different word. But, Stella took this very seriously! She picked up her ball, dropped it on her device, and said “Good” (Translation: Good idea, Mom!) • I started recording right after she said “Good” and caught the rest of her thought: “Happy ball want outside!” • Like all AAC users, Stella thrives when we talk to her using her device and say words that she loves. She never needs to know it was on accident! ? • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals

„Rovnako ako všetci používatelia AAC, Stella prosperuje, keď s ňou hovoríme pomocou zariadenia a hovoríme slovami, ktoré miluje. Prispôsobuje svoje posolstvo, keď sa necíti dobre pochopená, rovnako ako všetci ostatní! Ak nám niekto nerozumie alebo nedostaneme odpoveď, ktorú sme očakávali, jednoducho zmeníme slová, aby sme to lepšie vysvetlili a to isté robí aj ona,“ povedala hrdá majiteľka. „Minule Stella vyťukala slova: „Poď sa hrať,“ keď sme neprišli, dodala: „Milujem sa hrať vonku,“ nakoniec sa rozhodla urobiť to tak špecificky, ako dokáže len ona, ťukla na slovo „Park,“ dodala Christina. Stella je naozaj skvelý komunikátor.

Stella adapts her message when she isn’t feeling understood, just like we all do! If someone doesn’t understand us or we don’t get the response we were expecting, we change the words we’re using to explain ourselves better. • Watch this sequence of Stella telling us, three different ways in a row, that she wanted to go play! • First, Stella said “Come play.” When we didn’t come play, she added more details and said, “Outside play love you.” Finally, she got as specific as she could and told us, “Park.” Stella is truly a great communicator! • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals

Wait, wait, wait, then wait some more! Best practice in speech therapy with beginning communicators includes giving the learner increased wait time to process what’s happening and generate a response. Pausing before prompting or talking more gives the communicator a chance to respond! • Stella benefits from the same wait time. In this video she hit her “outside” button twice, but no sound came out. Instead of jumping up to fix it, I bit my tongue, stood still, and waited a full 13 seconds before Stella said “No. Help help!” Way to go Stella for telling me her button wasn’t working and asking for help! ???? • • • • • #hunger4words #stellathetalkingdog #slpsofinstagram #speechtherapy #AAC #ashaigers #slp #corewords #SLPeeps #slp2be #aacawarenessmonth #earlyintervention #languagedevelopment #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglife #dogs #animalpsychology #doglover #dogvideos #sandiegodog #catahoula #blueheeler #smartdog #dogcommunication #mydogtalks #animalcommunication #interspeciescommunication #loveanimals
