Connection to Source Doc:
“When he [Father Vijay D’Souza] came to Palizi in 1999 and began speaking Aka, the language transformed him. ‘It alters your thinking, your worldview’” and an example of that would be the word muckrow, “A similar word in D’Souza’s native language would be an insult, meaning “old man”. In Aka “mucrow” means something more. It is a term of respect, deference, endearment”
Resolution
- increased social interactions
- diagnosing early and training with SLP
