Our 20 year old daughter Leslie, who is moderately retarded has her own nicknames for our fellows. They defy logic, but with her severe speech problems we have adapted to her speech. The word chicken comes out as turkey and it was interesting when she worked one semester at "Turkey" Fil-A-Let. Many of the speech problems are similar to someone who has had a stroke. The little fellows have done wonders for her speech. She talks to them for hours and they all listen attentatively. We now at 20 are getting some very impressive sentances.
