National Student Speech Language Hearing Association :: Personal Narrative Writing

National Student Speech address Hearing AssociationEven though I deliver wholly been in college for one semester I feel like I have done something very significant. I have met a person with a disorder, but they are unaware that they have this disorder. This person is a child and he can not speak. I have besides experienced a feeling I have never had before. As a speech pathology major, I decided to join a club pitch towards speech production and I knew I wanted to work with children.As I was climbing the stairs to my phonetics class, I saw a broadsheet for N.S.S.L.H.A. (National Student Speech Language Hearing Association). The flyer stated that the shaping was only for people who were majoring in Communication and Science Disorders. But it verbalize nothing about what the club did. Out of curiosity, I went to the initial brush on September 18th. I found out that the people in the organization help children and sometimes elderly people with speech problems. The fi rst activity I did with N.S.S.L.H.A. was attending a book reading at Barnes and Noble. I was the first reader of the year and I was so emotional because I love to do activities with children. I read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie to 15 children and their parents. I was actually also neuronal because I wanted to do a good job. When I saw the kids that had come to hear me read I became so nervous that I made mistakes reading a childrens book. Even though this was a big deal to me, I had no idea of what was to come. I found out that the following weekend was a Flagstaff Family Day. This daytime was dedicated towards early intervention awareness. So when I arrived there I saw that most of the children were impaired somehow. Some of the children couldnt pronounce received letters, but there was one little boy named Jason who couldnt spill at all. I decided to spend time with him because I had never spent time with a child like him before. Jason is about third years old and I was amazed by him. Since he is so young he doesnt quite know that he has a speech disorder. I was making crafts with him stuff like paper tambourines and masks.
