He Talks Funny

Jeanne Buesser has written a wonderful and educating story. Many, many children are affected by speech disorders. The story teaches the reader about this condition which many people are unaware of, especially children.I applaud Jeanne for raising the awareness of this through a children's story. There is a stigma attached to these kinds of disabilities; people tend to think that children like this are not smart.This important point is mentioned in the story. Well done.SHAHIDUN RAHMAN ,Author of Ibrahim where on the spectrum does he belong?The story ' He Talks Funny' is about a 'special needs child' who has a neurological speech disorder and cannot be understood when he talks. How his mother helps educate his camp counselor and camp mates about her son's disability is the essence of the boy's acceptance into camp. It has been read by speech and language pathologists. They have found it satisfactory.
