This child only scripted during sessions and never independently/spontaneously produced words or phrases for functional, purposeful speech until the introduction of CVES!” - Kate Permenter, MS, CCC-SLP, Beyond Words, PLLC (Mar.

We believe that he is beginning to read the words on each CVES icon even though he isn't familiar with them. He quickly moved into making various phrases himself and saying each word in the phrase. In fact, one of our non-verbal children began immediately verbalizing the pre-constructed phrases. We have many different children using CVES, and it is amazing to see their increased ability to communicate, have their needs met, and their newfound independence. I have never had kids respond as quickly as they are now using CVES! One parent has seen so much success that she is ordering a CVES for her child to use in all environments. The response from each child and their families is INCREDIBLE. " Since attending the CEU course for CVES at the TSHA Convention, we have begun incorporating the system into our clinic’s daily sessions. Through this system, we have seen great progress and an increase in communication skills with many children." – M.
