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 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.

Hey. This talk to me program started off really well. We had an amazing coach called Wilbert who with his support and training we felt very optimistic about the program and progress of our non verbal child. However at about 3 months into the course our coach left and our rhythm halted majorly. Our progress stumbled and the momentum we had built slowly disrupted and all progress and engagement was lost. Our enthusiasm slowly dissappeared as we no longer recieved the same level of coaching again. Overall. The first 3 months was amazing. The last 3 were really poor. Thanks for trying.

A year ago, my son would not even look at my face and when I ask him to say something he would look at the ceiling. Those were heart breaking moments when our entire family will sink into tears. I was searching the internet for help on speech and language development and came across Ming’s AOS community its like a GODSEND. My son started imitation sounds (aah, ee, uh ..) around October last year with the help of Zero to words course. His language journey is in the upward direction from then on. When we started doing the Let’s talk more program in April 2024 with our amazing coach Joanne his language has increased tenfold 😊. All these sessions have helped to improve our bonding, his listening skills and also surprisingly his eating habit😁. Thank you so much Ming and team!!

My daughter was diagnosed with autism last year at the age of 5.5 and was classified as non-verbal at that moment. As many here, I have started with free courses and my daughter started actually using some words we have learnt. But we did not manage to learn much of them, because it turned out, I overestimated the level at which she were at that moment. Also learning sessions were rather chaotic - we did not take time to properly learn the vocabulary. In spring, we dived into the Let's Talk More programm, with Joanne as a coach. And from the first weeks my daughter already had the improvements in the active vocabulary.

We went very slowly, 1 week module could easily take us a month to master, despite daily excersises. But everyone have different starting level and learning pace. Half year later, my daughter still remembers these words. I did not expect much of the coaching before the start, but it turned out, Joanne was able to solve every complication we had.

There were times when I wanted to switch the activities, because my daughter just refused to do them, but Joanne offered easy and clear steps to actually make it work. So, don't be like me, don't try to break the brickwall with your forehead for several days in a row and just send a video to your coach right away. Now we're staring the last week. Results. Olga speaks with full sentences when prompted. She often says 2-3 word phrases without promt, usually describing the world around. What I know for sure is that this would not have happened without AOS. Because even the speech therapist, whom we visit once a week, started teaching her to use the communication device.

Which means they don't expect her to speak before the school. But I do. If we were able to move from sigle words to prompted sentences in 6 month, we can achieve fluent speech in a year. Thank you, Ming and Joanne!

Maybe it would help if I share my minor complications along the way, they are very specific. First, translations. We are learning German, not English, and it sometimes took me 30-45 minuted just to cut and transcribe videos. I'm sure there are tools to make it automatic, but I was too lazy to search. Second, I only have BW printer. I managed to print flashcards in protoautomats in grocery stores, but for bigger sheets I did not have such solution - so I painted my own booklets.

You have done wonders to my son. He was nonverbal at the start of the talk to me program in September 2024. Now, he is speaking in short sentences and is verbally very expressive of his wants and needs. He is now able to make choices between options. 

He used to be non-verbal just 4 months ago. Now he is doing well in nursery. I’m thankful I managed to find you. Your program is much better than my physical program I attend here in Singapore which is generally considered medically advanced. He goes for that therapy and it is not as structured as your program. And sometimes I’m not sure how they measure progress and desired outcomes of each session.

Your program is structured and it builds on skills and continues to build on skills. Very progressive. Me and my wife couldn’t be happier. We are so thankful and eternally grateful to both of you. I hope more people will know about your program. Parents need not worry about signing up. Your child will surely make improvements. Of course your effort matters too!

Hello everyone, would like to say some lines about ming and AOS team. Thank you so much for your services. We have been practicing for 4 month under paid coaching program *let's talk more* and finally it's come to an end. We as a parents and as home tharapist learned a lot and just because of this community my 4 yrs child talking in sentences from non-verbal. Inspite of language problem the coach chuck guided the best, although somewhere our language facilitator app dint work sometime but despite this he explained very nicely without knowing our language. I know we need a lot more practice to do this at home but my money which I had spent totally worth it and at least now we have the techniques and tools to shift him from words to sentences.

 I'm the member of this community from sep 2023. I was very lucky to find this community veri early. On July 2023 I had the diagnosis when my child was 2 yrs 11 months. And that 2 months I was so depressed 😔 sad and feeling helpless. I wasn't able to sleep properly for two months that why it's happened with me. Seriously I'm telling this very first time my inside feeling because I've never shared this before. After two months from some where I found this community. I have completed all micro courses and AOS induction courses patiently. And dint even teach my child untill Nov 23. That helped me a lot in understanding my child's behaviour

And from Dec 23 I have started teaching from open palm gesture till verbal imitation with free course. This man helped me in my very difficult time when no one was there. Due to this man I'm sleeping nicely without any stress because he and his team working hard 24*7 for us. A very big salute to this community this man deserves an academy award if I was one of the jury members 😀 I would have given him. We have no other better option than this.

Thank you so much this word seems very little for what he has given us. Because no one can purchase someone's tear into dollars or indian rupees. So for me money doesn't matter if it's cheap or costly. Nothing is more important for me, and what else can be important than his improvement.

I would like to say to fellow parents that this is the best community for speech delayed children just have faith and patience gradually you will definitely see some changes in your child.

AoS is a light in the dark. When I discovered Ming’s videos on YouTube, I had pretty much exhausted every resource I could find on speech and language delays. I spent countless hours researching and analysing everything through the lens of my two and a half year old daughter's behavior and interactions. I became consumed by the need to figure out what was "wrong" and how to fix it.

Sadly, I was also plagued by guilt—wondering if it was somehow all my fault. Things really shifted when the speech therapist at my daughter’s daycare told us he couldn’t help her unless her only issue was pronunciation. That moment hit hard—but I knew enough by then to realise he was wrong. And that’s when I realised that if we wanted to help our daughter, we’d have to do it ourselves.

This is when I really dove into Ming’s YouTube channel. It felt like no matter what I was wondering about, there was already a video answering it. For the first time, I didn’t feel so alone. There were other families going through the same thing.

When I watched the video about whether a child’s delay is the parent’s fault, I felt like I could finally let go of the guilt and focus on what really mattered—not why my daughter had a delay, but what I was going to do about it. I joined the AoS community and started with the free courses. Then I joined the Supermom Program, which gave me an even deeper understanding of how to bring AoS strategies into our everyday life. I passed this knowledge on to my husband and our daughter’s grandparents, so we could all support her consistently.

 Eventually, I enrolled in the Tell Me Why program, and that was a game-changer. It’s not a walk in the park—it requires consistency—but once you commit and build it into your daily rhythm, you start witnessing progress in real time. Thanks to the program and our wonderful coach, Joanne, I’ve learned how to support my daughter’s language development with grace and patience.

When we joined AoS, my daughter was nearly three. She struggled to form sentences, displayed echolalia, and had difficulty engaging with peers. Answering questions was hard for her, and she almost never asked any. Today, just a year and a half later, she’s nearly four and a half—speaking in full, flexible sentences, asking and answering questions, interacting joyfully with peers, and no longer showing signs of echolalia.

And she does all of this not only in English, but in Danish too, her second language. There was a time where it was hard to imagine having a conversation with her. Now, I almost forgot how that felt. We talk every day—and I finally get to hear all the beautiful, interesting things she’s been carrying inside her mind all along. Every child is different, but I truly believe AoS gives you the tools to help your child move forward from wherever they are. Thank you, Ming, Joanne, and the entire AoS team. You have changed our lives.

My boy was 3.5 yo when we became certain he was speech delayed. I combed through videos in youtube and watched Ming, a no nonsense speech therapist giving advise and from there I found Agents of Speech. From their free videos alone, the teachings which I implemented into how we communicated with our boy, have helped tremendously. He went from speaking short phrases to short sentences.

Because AOS then did not have a program for children speaking in sentences, we hired another speech language therapist to work with us. Speech therapy here (in NZ) is expensive and they are mostly play based and child led. I felt we did not progress much as there were no goals to work on and no clear direction to take. Once AOS offered a program suitable for our boy (Tell me Why) I enrolled him right away.

We worked with our coach Joanne and my boy’s progress has been amazing. He could not sit still on the first few videos and on his last week on the program, he was sitting nicely, answering questions and we even played a board game as a family. It was not a walk in the park though for my boy and for us mum and dad. It was consistency and hard work every night and implementing what we have learned in everyday conversations.

My boy is now talking a lot more, making friends and thriving in primary school. I am not sure if it was AOS or him being in Primary that has made the most impact but I reckon it is both. I think my boy has more confidence talking to his teacher and peers because both him and us parents did the hard work getting him ready. Also, I believe getting him to sit down for longer periods of time with the talking exercises at home also prepared him for what is expected of him in primary school. My boy still has a long way to go.

Coach Joanne, with her feedback, tips and strategies also has also given me the confidence to teach my boy to talk more which I think this is a very valuable tool going forward. I will continue to recommend AOS to any parent with their different programs. We have results and have no doubt with hard work and consistency, you will have results too. My massive thanks to Ming and AOS staff. :)

I am deeply grateful to Ming and the AOS team for providing truly life-changing support to parents like me. When my 1.5-year-old daughter began showing speech delays, unresponsiveness to her name, and hand-pulling behaviors, I took immediate action—eliminating screen time, adjusting her diet, engaging in interactive play, and immersing her in nature. While these efforts helped, her challenges remained. To make matters more difficult, living in a foreign country meant struggling to find proper support.

I searched desperately online for solutions—until I discovered Ming’s YouTube channel. Finding AOS was nothing short of a revelation. Suddenly, I realized we weren’t alone. The resources provided didn’t just offer guidance—they completely reshaped my understanding of what real support looks like.

In September 2023 (when my daughter was 2 years and 3 months), we began with the free micro-course, then progressed to Zero to Words. The results were great. Within weeks, she mastered gross and fine motor imitation, then progressed to mouth shapes and vowel sounds.

Next came Word Combiners (another free course), which improved her speech development. It wasn't easy—we had good days and tough days. But whenever doubts crept in, I’d return to the Skool community for fresh ideas and renewed motivation to keep going.

Ready for the next step, we enrolled in the Tell Me Why (TMW) paid course in October, with the great coach Joanne. Over five months, my daughter improved—not just in speech, but in her overall behavior. Though she faced initial struggles, Joanne’s expert guidance and strategies helped her thrive.
 
The main thing I learned from this course: While the free courses are great, having an expert review your progress and provide personalized support is transformative. I need to add that the monthly calls with Ming provided invaluable support, answering my questions. I also made sure to read Ming’s emails, which opened my eyes to details I had overlooked. One email, in particular, inspired me to reevaluate our entire environment and prioritize what was best for my daughter. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, AOS, for building this incredible support system that’s changing lives every day."

I’d like to thank AOS. Because of TMW, every time I ask my son, “why”, he automatically says “because” and think of more words to say to answer the question. Before, when asked why, he will just stare at me. We have progressed a lot but there’s still more work to do. Thanks for the guidance especially to ms. Joanne who has been very patient in teaching me how to teach my son. I believe with faith, hard work and a great coaching team my son will have big leaps in his speech and language development. Thus we decided to join the annual coaching program. ❤️

I chose Agents of Speech because I was looking for something that could truly help my son. At the beginning of our journey, I was deeply worried he struggled to focus, communicate, and even sit through a short session. Honestly, it felt impossible. But with consistent effort and the incredible support from the team, He has come so far. What once seemed out of reach is now part of his daily routine. One thing that helped us the most was the clear structure and guidance provided in every session it gave me confidence and gave him a sense of progress. Today, he is so much better than before. I’m truly grateful for this journey it changed everything for us.

I came across Agents of Speech and their free material on YouTube when searching for guidance. My son, who had recently turned two years old, had showed very little interest in speaking and sound imitation. So far he barely said mom. I didn’t know where to start or have anyone in my surrounding in a similar situation. After looking through a lot of the free material, I was motivated to take action. But I felt like I needed a little more guidance. Therefore I applied to the “Talk To Me” program and so glad that I did! By doing this I became part of a community that encourages and cheer each other on, strangers in all sense but with one thing in common. Our kids. It helps keeping the motivation up and doing the work. Because the program takes work. I won’t lie, it’s dedication and sometimes feels like pulling your hair out. But you get results! Mings team, and in particular our coach Joanne, was exactly what we needed. By following the program, sending in recorded videos and getting feedback (usually within 24h!) my son has now completed the “Talk To Me” program and is halfway through “Let’s Talk More”. He is just learning to build sentences. The bliss to see my son be able to express himself now is beyond words. If you are considering this for your child and are willing to do the work. Don’t hesitate to join. It’s 100% worth it ⭐️

My son Byron is 5 years old (will turn 6 next February) and he was using just single words most of the times (after finishing Ming’s talk to me program) and we decided to go for “let’s talk more” program and it was a huge success, Byron is able to read now and speak in full sentences! Agents of speech therapists and Ming are a blessing, so kind and passionate about what they do! It’s easy to work with them and they are very patient, understanding and very professional. If you have doubts about if these programs are worthy, please don’t hesitate and give it a try! My son is exceeding expectations in his classroom and ahead of his regular peers thanks to these programs and Ming’s support! I can’t thank them enough for their help and guidance. My advice for those parents who feel guilt and that they are failing to their kids while waiting for months to be approved for speech therapy, or for an evaluation, is, please give agents of speech a try! This changed our lives completely and I’m not exaggerating! Don’t lose hope, don’t give up and don’t let the diagnosis destroy your dreams and your family’s future! Work hard and let the experts help you in this process! It’s not easy but with lots of dedication and AOS everything is possible.

Before undertaking TTM, my kid could say less than 20 words and infrequently. Even though I had a local speech therapist and have been reading up, watching other therapists on youtube, trying to DIY, our progress stalled and we plateaued for about a year and a half, during which I found Ming on youtube. I knew he was legit when he showed how to play with the ball run.Even my local therapy centre could not / did not teach that.

TTM is money and time well spent. I am writing this as someone who has read Hanen’s More than Words, and It Takes Two and watched Laura Mize’s YouTube videos, which are valuable resources. TTM / AOS team still provides a different AND significant value-add. My kid now wants to vocalise sounds/ words more often when he is playing, requesting or pointing out things to us.

The coach and AOS team have been very diligent in looking through my video uploads ( note that I uploaded almost every day), giving very clear and personalized instructions, as well as providing encouragement.

For me, it was not only about getting single words, but setting up a routine on which learning can take place with my undersensitive autistic kid, learning play routines with concrete examples on how to use toys, as well as useful toy recommendations.

The routines also helped show that my kid had better receptive skills than expressive ones (i.e. understand more than he can speak), and in the right conditions can sit down at the table for play / other activities. The videos I recorded under TTM showed my local therapists that my undersensitive autistic kid was grossly underestimated!
