Story:
When Terry's mom was first trying to teach him to speak, she immediately noticed he was struggling. Concerned about the reaction Terry's alcoholic father, Cliff, might have, she kept the issue to herself. When Cliff eventually recognized the problem, he became upset and insisted Terry work on fixing his problem, which made things even more difficult for him. He continues to struggle with his speech and is subject to ridicule by classmates at school. As his struggles and story are told to his counselor, viewers of the video are provided with an exclusive look inside the session. There, they hear the details of his condition and they witness first-hand the speech and behavioral issues that are controlling his life.
