Saviour's Journey with Agents of Speech When my son Saviour was 2yrs old, I began the coaching program with Agents of Speech. At the time, he wasn't pointing, pulling hands, or using gestures to communicate. He would bang on surfaces or glare when overwhelmed, and we felt lost, unsure how to help him connect with the world. The coaching program gave us more than just strategies-it gave us hope. One of our biggest milestones was imitation. When Saviour began to copy sounds, actions, and expressions, it opened the door to true communication. From that moment on, everything began to change. Now, at 4yrs old, Saviour is engaged, expressive, and continuing to grow every single day. I am beyond grateful to Agents of Speech for walking beside us on this journey. To Drew, thank you for your ongoing support and eternal love-you've been a constant light. To our beautiful coach Ina, your unmatched expertise and deep care turned you from a Speech therapist into a real-life superhero in our eyes. And to Ming, the founder-you are the reason this dream exists. You are living proof of our dream, and we are living proof of yours. From the bottom of my heart, my daughters heart and Saviours-thank you for helping Saviour find his voice, and helping us find ours as a family 🩷

Before enrolling to Ming's Talk to Me course, Penny could never tell us what she wanted. Although she could say a lot of nouns (names of shapes, animals, colors etc.) she was limited in terms of verbs that she knew how to use.

We were very fortunate to have found Ming online and work with him to improve these areas in Penny's language development.

Ming's instructions were very clear and he was always available to answer all our questions. He worked hand-in-hand with us, worried parents, and always gave out a positive vibe which was very helpful in keeping us motivated despite the difficulties.

 After 2 months of working with Ming, Penny could already tell us utterances such as "Mommy, open {food, door, box} please." or "Mommy turn off light please." whenever she wants something done. She's also very good at imitating our words now, thus, we could teach her more verbs/action words that are critical in sentence building.

She could already sing along with us as well with prompt. There's still a lot more to improve, but Ming's Talk to Me program is real good starting point. I only wished I found this out sooner.

If your child has speech/language delay, I'd highly recommend working with Ming. He'd teach you to fish and not just give you the fish so you can be better help your child. And this is thus far the most effective way of teaching speech delayed children.

Before I came across Ming, we used the sonrise program send taught through books and videos, which we continued for three years with Ava. By the time I miraculously came across Ming talking about AOS, Ava was now using one words to request and unprompted- although not consistently, but this had taken us three years of intensive physical work.

 We joined LTM on November 2023 and by October 2024 Ava completed the course and was using full sentences to request for items. School had begun to notice the differences and she has received several certificates and several recordings on her diary of how Ava had utilised her sentences to request. We were so proud of the progress that Ava has made in AOS, and immediately signed onto the next level, which is TMW.

Ava is progressing very well and her sentences continue to be more stronger, fluent and frequent. School continue to be amazed by Ava now expressing herself with sentences more and more. Yes this took a lot of consistency and commitment on my side to be able to push Ava to want to learn, but giving up was never an option especially now that we have AOS coach Joanne lighting our path with the brightest touch that has ever been available to us. As we follow Joanne‘s light and Ava continues to progress, all we can say is thank God for AOS, and may God bless AOS and the team.

 Away from language other areas of progress include Ava eating a varied range food getting, tantrums stopping, being able to tolerate loud environments and peers, being even more confident, self care skills improving, and of course I have to repeat- Ava having the ability to request her wants and needs. This progresses are bringing out the little happy Ava that has been hidden within. Thank you Joanne. Note: Ava is still verbally stimming but we continue to work.

I also have my youngest daughter in TTM and her improvements are also measurable.

I work full time and spend about 15-30 minutes engaging in AOS with each of my children, 5 days a week. Joanne- our coach is a superstar, always responding and pushing us forward.

 I surely hope other parents find this program and give the energy, commitment and consistency required to give your children back their voice, especially in a world where the services required for our children who struggle with your verbal and non verbal communication, sociability and flexibility are not as productive as we wish them to be.

I came across the Agents of Speech YouTube channel while searching for ways to help my child communicate better. And I am SO GLAD I did!

After watching a lot of Ming’s YouTube videos, and going through the amazing free courses that they offer, I realized that I had discovered something very amazing!

We enrolled for the Lets Talk More course as my child needed help with combining words and making sentences. It was an 8 weeks program, with well defined goals and criteria for each week. The amazing thing is that we were allowed to proceed at our own pace.

Ming and his team did an amazing job at designing this course. The whole team has been very accommodating; we took a long break and moved across countries and were seamlessly able to resume the program from where we left. 

Joanne, our Mentor was amazing all through the duration of the course. She provided detailed feedback for every video that we shared, and always suggested activities based on my child’s interests and needs. It was amazing to witness how she, in such a short time, knew what my child liked and what was best for him!

The little things that we learn as parent, along the way, are invaluable and not restricted for use for this particular program. If we learn from our experience, we can help our child in many ways, even outside the 15 minutes of structured task. There is no limit! It is amazing to see how spending 10-15 mins a day on a structured activity could transform the way your child communicates.

Being an active participant in your child’s therapy is amazing, because you are witnessing their progress, understanding their strengths and weaknesses, while working on yours, and learning so many ways to help them outside of the daily tasks. And of course, seeing them achieve weekly milestones is the cherry on the top! Sometimes you have all the resources and knowledge at hand, and all you need is a mentor who helps you apply the knowledge and guides you through the journey of helping your child, and this is exactly what you can expect to get on this platform.

When you are part of the course, you also get access to videos from other parents, which is so amazing, because of several reasons; you know you are not alone, you can learn a lot from seeing how other parents and children are doing.

I would also like to mention that we were living in Korea at the time we started the LTM course, and English wasn’t the primary language for communication, education, or therapy services. So we were lucky that we found this course because it was very accessible, effective, and easy on our pockets, unlike other available options.

And I want to highlight that we moved to US three months ago, and while we don’t have language barriers anymore, our opinions haven’t changed, and AOS is still our top preference and we are definitely going to proceed with the subsequent courses and I am absolutely excited for my child to learn from the best :) Kudos to the amazing AOS team who are helping so many families in so many ways!

I hope my testimonial helps other parents who are on the fence about joining the program. I would say jump right in!! You won’t regret!

I first came across Ming on YouTube whilst trying to search for videos trying to convince myself that my child is just having speech delays and nothing else. Ming's videos are very real, non scripted, but hits the point every single time. I got curious and decided to make the purchase when he ran a promo to get the micro course intro course and the potty training course together. It wasn't expensive compared to what clinics are charging (that is if you can even get an appointment in the middle of the pandemic) and I figured I have nothing to lose rather than just sit and wait for appointments to happen. I used the courses and I used it well. My child can now speak in 4 to 5 word sentences when she needs help. E.g. I want the box. I want to eat noodle. We are now trying to work on casual chatting at the moment. Did I mention potty training? Mine was trained within a month of starting the guide.

My son was assessed and found to be "the low range of typical" so we didnt qualify for speech therapy. I was heart broken until my mother found Ming. The skills I learned from the coarse work have not only helped me teach myself and my son but it has deepened our connection. He now makes eye contacts when talking with us and even does loads of interactive play, instead of solo play. My son went from 20 words to 100 words in 3 months. He went from screaming about everything to either asking for what he wants or at least pointing to it and saying "want" just the other day he asked me for "mama cudd" (cuddles) which warmed my heart so much I cried! This work has been amazingly helpful and I'm so glad my mother found Ming on YouTube! Thank you Ming!

My 5yo boy has many words but he was stuck in receptive language. He attended OT & ABA since 2yo but stopped therapy when covid started. I tried to teach but I have no clue how to enhance my teaching. I used a lot of flash card, that’s why he has a lot of words but I don’t know how to teach him functional language until I found Agent of Speech in July 2021. Ming encouraged on using toys to teach and I learnt how to use toys to teach functional language to instead of only flash cards. I signed up his micro course and found Ming’s words very encouraging and informative. Immediately I signed up Introduction course and words combiner course. I started to have every day 15 minutes and then slowly increase to 30 minutes training with him. The technique I learned from words combiner course really works well; my son started to have 2 words together and functional language in August 21. Yes…. It’s just in a month … And when I ask him the question “What is baby doing?” Showing him the baby doll drinking milk … and he answered me drink milk …. The first time I hear 2 words from him and answering my question. I believe if you are waiting for your children to talk and he answers you, then your feelings will be same as me. The feeling is like better than strike a lottery. No word can explain my happiness!

My son, who was diagnosed with Severe ASD, was 2 years and 4mos old when I found out Agents of Speech. I saw a video of a mother teaching her son overcome speech delay. I was crying at the end of the video because my son was also at that same level -zero word. And I told my self, if she can do it, I can do it too..so I searched for Ming-Agents of Speech and purchased the Speech Delay Micro-Course for parents. It helped me a lot and I gained confidence in teaching my son at home. Before I discovered Agents of Speech, my son was nonverbal, hyperactive, did not follow simple command, with poor eye contact, unable to sit still on a chair and not responding to his name. But when I followed Ming’s instructions (Micro-course), my son’s behavior and speech changed day by day. And I am so glad to celebrate small wins everyday. Then I joined the Bi-weekly zoom meeting wherein Ming and parents meet to watch the video of a kid and Ming will have a feedback. It was a great experience and opportunity to learn from other parents/kid’s experience while Ming is giving suggestions on how to improve speech and behavior of a kid. Ming’s courses are simple, direct, practical and very effective in teaching a speech delay child at home. And what I like more about his courses is his goal -not to teach the child alone but also the parents. This is so helpful for me because at first I have difficulty finding a therapy center in our place, and now that we already moved, there is a long waiting list. So my son does not have a therapist yet but I am not worried since I see a lot of improvements for my son (plus it’s cheaper and it also creates a special bond between you and your kid), just because I consistently and diligently followed Ming’s instructions. My husband, who is very loving and supportive even asked me if we still need to see a therapist for my son, since I am already doing a great job. I am so happy and proud of myself too at same time. It gives me a sense of hope and accomplishment which keeps my sanity intact. 😊 My son now (3 years and 8 months) is speaking 2-3word phrases, with good eye contact and improved joint attention, responding to his name, able to sit still on a chair even if he is playing alone (me-time), follows and gives simple commands, and almost zero tantrums everyday. from severe to moderate ASD. ❤️ I always thank God for leading us to professional therapists like Ming-Agents of Speech who selflessly shares his knowledge and talent to help parents/kids overcome speech delay. Thank you Ming! 😊👏👏👏

My kid is speech delayed and I’m still in the beginning stages of following the course and working on strategies with my kid. Before joining micro-course I watched lot of Ming’s videos on YouTube and found them easy to understand, I really liked the steps by step approach. It is definitely difficult to implement with kid but not impossible. Ming’s course are affordable and informative. I still need to try consistently all the strategies from the course with kid yet but I have a positive feeling that continuous effort with Ming’s strategies will definitely help for speech development.

It is mentally and emotionally very challenging for parents to get their speech delayed child to speak. From time to time it seemed to me like I was facing an unachievable task. Until I found Ming and Agents of Speech. Since I purchased "Word Combiners" online course, I have felt like I have a road map and support, that I am guided by. The journey has been fascinating as I have seen how my little one´s speech develops with every week. Ming and Agents of Speech, a thousand times thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'm so glad I stumbled onto Agents of Speech! My 3 year old had very little words at 2 and was just starting to "label" with the help of a speech therapist. After 6 months we enrolled our son into preschool. While this has helped him socially, he still wasn't quite where the other kids are. He still isn't actually. BUT with the micro course, YouTube videos, etc my kid is now able to label animals, objects etc even I've never heard of! For instance, a kookaburra??? (It's a bird btw). He is also responding to us calling him more and using 2 to 3+ word sentences! This is huge progress for us considering he wouldn't even look in our direction before. I can't thank Ming and AOS enough and we are super excited to see our son grow and learn more everyday!!

Although my 3 year old knew his ABCs, and words, such as shapes and colors, he was unable to communicate with intent. He just repeated nouns. He was speech delayed and, therefore, falling behind socially. After what seemed like endless searches through YouTube videos, I found one of Ming's videos. It provided concrete information and a step by step starting point on how to teach and engage my son. I tried it and it worked! I purchased all of the courses, which included the video consultation with Ming. I found it comforting to speak with him and like that he responds very quickly to my emails when I have questions. The courses teach the parent how to be the speech therapist, at home. Home is where children spend most of their time. Although my son is still behind his peers, he now is able to express himself in 3-4 words sentences l. Moreover, he is able to answer questions and keep a mini conversation. This is a vast improvement from the silence or non-related situational self "noun talk/babble" he was displaying before. Agents of Speech gave us hope, especially in a time where we were put on two year waiting lists for the local in person therapies. That is too long to wait, especially, since he is developing, now. I no longer feel alone on this journey. Thank you, Ming!!

My child was non verbal, didn't respond to his name, didn't follow instructions. Now speaks with single words, answers his name and follows directions. I found AOS immensely helpful. It's a beacon of hope that everything will be alright. AOS breaks everything down step by step, such that you know exactly what to do. Most of it is free and that's incredible. Thank you for the great work!

My son is 3 years old with non-verbal autism.

Before my family signed up for AOS, we tried two different speech therapists (in-office and in-home) for about 14 months. The speech therapists gave us vague homework to complete. I felt like no one was taking us seriously. They couldn't show us progress.

 In America, the speech therapy industry takes the wait-and-see approach. They don't expect actual results. If your child speaks, great. If your child doesn't speak, oh well. Everyone says they can help non-verbal kids but they actually can't. You end up losing precious time and money. 

Then, we joined the AOS coaching program. It's been worth every penny! In 4 months, my son has gone from babbling to saying a few words (words associated to the right objects!). He can even say some vowels and consonants, too. 

 We see the progress! And our coach Chuck is amazing with thoughtful feedback. AOS is flexible; we don't stay stagnant. We focus on what my son can do, instead of getting stuck on what he can't do.

AOS also has raised the bar for how I select other service providers for my son. So, thank you AOS for leading the way! 😊

My son was non verbal before we started with the agents of speech community. We tried multiple physical speech therapy centers but those therapists were not even able to get him speak a word. Thanks to the free courses in AOS I was able to get him imitate sounds and then boom he was able to speak in words. When we decided to start with let's talk more (paid program) in April 2024, I was already hopeful that this pathway is going to give drastic results in my son's speech ability. That's when I made a huge decision to resign my job and stay at home to give him my full support. We graduated LTM in December 2024 and now we are in the annual paid program targeting verbal reasoning skills. My son is consistently speaking in sentences in english at home and his mother tongue is also improving at a good pace. I am so grateful to Ming, our coach Joanne and the entire AOS community.

Writing it as anonymous. ...I am grateful to Agents of Speech team. My 3.5 yr daughter learnt first gesture of OPEN with aos and that truly opened the door of functional language. We have a long way, however very grateful to Ming and team of showing the right direction. I use to real email of other parents which motivated me about the possibility. We have mastered one word of talking to me, increased in overall understanding and on the track of word combiner. Many thanks to Ming and Ina

We are incredibly grateful for the guidance and support we have received through your programs. Thanks to our coach Joanne ,we now understand how to work with my son in ways that truly help him develop his speech and communication skills. Over the course of this program, we have seen remarkable progress. He is now actively trying to speak and communicate with us, which is a huge milestone compared to before, when he wouldn’t even attempt to talk. Although he still makes mistakes while speaking, what matters most is his effort and determination. Every word he tries to say is a step forward, and we can clearly see his confidence growing with each session. The strategies and techniques we have learned from you have empowered us to support him effectively at home, making his learning both consistent and enjoyable. We are so thankful for your patience, encouragement, and dedication. This program has not only helped my son, but it has also given us hope, confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to nurture his growth. We feel truly blessed to have had such a knowledgeable and compassionate guide on this journey, and we are excited to see all the progress he will continue to make.

I first stumbled upon Ming/Agents of Speech on youtube in 2023. Like any skeptical parent, I was worried this might be a scam and wondered how this would work. But some of his words really hit home.. don't wait for a diagnosis to take action, start helping your child right away.

When I signed up for the "Talk to me" programme, my son was 2.5yr old, non-verbal and suspected to be on the spectrum.. he couldn't even call me mum/mummy. Now, almost a year later, he's calling me all the time for his needs, he can make 3 to 4-word requests! We are still waiting for a diagnosis if he has ASD but that is a separate matter. I'm still so so so glad and grateful that I signed up, because he's able to speak and echo words now. This programme is about learning to be a coach for your child, you have to put in the effort, time and work. It might take time, but it will work with consistency and patience! I really appreciate the structured programme and highly recommend to anyone struggling with non-verbal kids.

Ming is a great speech/ABA therapist! I have been taking his course for our child with ASD. I am a physician and I am confident that joining his program was one of the best decisions I made during pandemic. Especially since pandemic, we lack speech and ABA therapists in USA. Without Ming, our son would have been without speech therapy for more than a year.

Since we joined his paid program, our son for the first time became able to do action imitation. He could not even open hands or touch his head before the TTM program. After nearly 6 months of persistent practice and firm determination to help our son and keeping faith in our son that someday he would become verbal, our son finally broke the barrier of voice imitation.

If you are on a long waiting list for your child to be seen by speech therapist, I highly recommend to check out his free microcourse first and then the paid course. Compared to other online speech therapies, I was able to see that Ming was honest, sincerely trying to help parents and children, and his explanation/ teaching was straight forwarded. His courses are well structured with meaningful strategies.

As you can see, we moved weeks faster once he started voice imitation just like Ming expected! It is normal to have 1 step forward and 2 steps backward sometimes - always have fun with our children, lots of hugs, smiles and kisses during practice. We will continue to work hard, never give up, and won’t stop until the day our son can talk in sentences!

I saw AOS on Facebook in d summer of 2023 , as at that time my son couldn’t say a single word, he can’t imitate any action or sounds and he was 3+yrs old as at that time. I tried the free courses on Skool and we saw improvement in his listening skills so when the paid course was advertised, I was delighted to join. We started the Talk To Me program TTM on d 8th Jan 2024 and my son graduated on the 8th April 2024. With the help of Wilbert ( one of the coaches at AOS) my son can imitate sounds , he started calling me mummy n his dad daddy. He can name different flash cards u place infront of him. He can repeat different words or sounds you say to me. It was a 360 degree turnaround for his speech development. Agent of speech is a great platform if u need help with your speech delay kids. Just be ready to devote 15-20min of ur time everyday to do the sessions with your child, I guarantee u , u will see massive improvement.
