Hello Crystal, Wow! What an excellent idea! I think it is great that you bring in other children, so that they can experience the hard work their friends put in at speech class and in turn hopefully help the client to generalize outside of the therapy. I also think it is great that they can only choose someone who does not bully others because they are different or go to speech. It is a great way to help others in the class become more understanding and sensitive to things their classmates may be dealing with. Have you noticed a decrease in the negative feelings kids have felt about coming to speech class after they bring a friend? Hopefully news spreads around the classrooms and helps the other children to understand as well? Again, great work and I hope to be able to implement such a idea in the future! Best, Emily
