Communicating with Shawn

Shawn's way of communication is broken words/sentences and gestures.He would say words with some breaks in between and repeatedly.
1. When he says get, cut, auntie, hair, papa - he wants to watch the video on my handphone of his hair cutting session back in June. He was seated on YT while the lady cut his hair back then
2. When he says get, po and he is drumming his fingers on the table - he wants to watch the video of himself playing the piano
3. When he says get, draw, mop, two - Get the drawing board and draw him 2 mops. If he substitute mop with Eeeee means vacuum cleaner
4. When he says mop, eeeeee, ant, points to the floor, cat(ch)- use the vacuum cleaner and clean the ants from the floor (so far I see no ants on my floor, I think he learnt in school)

So far, these are what I could make out of his words and gestures.
