Repeating Words or Phrases Instead of Using Original Speech

Your child may echo or repeat words, phrases, or sentences that others say (sometimes over and over) instead of using their own unique language to communicate. This can be confusing to listeners and may make it harder for your child to express ideas in their own words.

Why this happens:
Some children repeat words as a way to communicate while they’re still learning how language works or to help process speech. It’s especially common in conditions like autism or language delays.

Try this at home:
1. Pause before responding: Give your child a moment to try their own words.
2. Model original speech: Gently restate what your child echoes with a natural sentence (“Child: ‘Want cookie, want cookie’ → You: ‘You want a cookie.’”).
3. Offer two choices: Reduce questions and give two options for snacks or toys based on what your child is pointing to or grabbing. This models language for what they actually want and encourages them to use their own words.
4. Encourage variation: Invite your child to add or change one word each time (“Cookie” → “Big cookie” → “I want big cookie”).

Maysoon Zayid was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at birth, affecting her muscle control and movement. Rather than allowing it to limit her, she embraced comedy, creativity, and activism as powerful tools for change.

She is best known as a stand-up comedian, actress, and writer who uses humor to challenge stereotypes about disability, identity, and culture. Through her groundbreaking TED Talk “I Got 99 Problems… Palsy Is Just One,” Maysoon inspired millions around the world with her honesty, confidence, and wit.

Beyond the stage, Maysoon is a passionate advocate for disability rights and inclusion. She co-founded the New York Arab-American Comedy Festival and has dedicated her career to increasing representation for people with disabilities in media, entertainment, and society.

Maysoon’s story reminds us that resilience, self-acceptance, and laughter can turn perceived limitations into platforms for empowerment and lasting impact.

-Teach and practice clear body cues so your child can understand and communicate personal space.
-Prepare ahead of time for new social interactions by reviewing expectations before the interaction occurs.
-Use social stories or visual aids to show what is private versus public and what behavior is appropriate.
-Practice role-playing real-life situations so your child can learn boundaries in a safe, predictable way.
-Offer gentle reminders and praise when your child respects personal space or follows social rules.
