I made that speech in my freshman year in h.s. and some of them have changed but I'm not changing anything. My brother is 20 and I'm 28.
My brother is different than you. he has many severe learning problems, but he has made a positive difference in my life. I want to share some things about my brother with you.
My brother name is ryan and he is 11 years old. He is deaf and physically disabled. He is learning a lot of new things very fast. He has lots of physical problems which are his spinal cords aren't straight, he has 3 holes in his heart, and he has a disease in his stomach. He had hard time walking alone. He can't walk a lot, but he uses wheelchair or walker most of the times.
My brother doesn't know how to communicate. He uses a few sign languages like bye, hi, shoes, blanket, sleep, shower, bottle, bowling, coat, later, tomorrow and gestures. He can communicate with pictures and he knows what we are talking about in some ways. He understands a lot of people what they are saying to him for sign languages!
My brother is learning how to walk more by using the walker, watching people walking, holding hands and letting it go, push strollers, carts, or wheelchair. He is learning how to eat with a spoon but he doesn't use a fork. He hates fork. He is riding a bike that isn't same as ours. His bike has strings, belts, and a thing that hold his back for support.
He likes to watch t.v. and movies. Some programs he likes are cartoons, car racing, any kind of cars, cops, rescue 911, building houses, and some sports. He likes to go places like Toys R us, shopping, actually anywhere. He loves to collect thousands of movies and cars. My dad collects the cars too.. It drove my mom and me crazy.
He likes to go to school at Charter Development School. The teachers teach him how to walk, eat, potty training, communicate, involves wit activities and sharing. He learns to give things to teacher and to put away things and help teachers with some kids.
My family and I is trying to help my brother sign more, taste more food, walk alone, do things for himself what he wants, drink alone and etc. I help him to put away things and he helps me, too. I played with him, helped him to walk more alone, take him riding bikes, take him for a walk, teach him more sign languages and putting clothes on himself.
He have learned new things when I'm not at home like washing dishes, doing laundry, being more stubborn, taking bath by himself, pour some drink in his bottle and etc.
I have learned a lot things from my brother. I have learned to be more patient and to see more success in small steps that he have made. I learned no matter how severely someone is, they can be fun to be with. My brother had made a difference in my life and I hope I am making a difference in his life too. I hope I am a good sister and that he could learn love and patience from me too.
