childish voice. “No, no Holly say water, wa-ter.” I said (slightly frustrated) for the tenth time that day. I know that during my childhood, my mother heard this conversation between my doll and I more times than she can count. Holly was a doll with a speech impediment that I got for Christmas one wear.

My feelings were dynamic, as anyone's would be after 12-13 years of attending speech therapy. In Elementary School, in the early days in particular, I enjoyed attending speech therapy.

I performed three observations in Ms. Robinson’s speech therapy class. Ms. Robinson pulls different students from their classes to join her for a 30-minute session. The children do not attend a session every day. The first group of students I observed was two boys. The boys came into class and picked a game for them to play. They decided on playing jenga.

Now let’s meet the Gentle Giant who is under a working class dog that gets looks wherever he goes and some even wonder if he is a miniature horse. I do apologize for those audience members that are not as fond of these creatures as most, but there may come a day that someone you know

Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) is the most common chromosomal disorder affecting one in every 691 children born in the United States ("down syndrome facts", 2012).
