Novella, age 11 and diagnosed with Epilepsy, recently had her wish granted to go to the Peppa Pig Theme Park in Orlando, FL. She travelled with her two parents and older brother. Novella loves anything and everything about Peppa Pig books the TV show. She likes listening to Disney songs and had a blast enjoying the music during the drive. Although Novella is non-verbal, she loves when people talk to her and wants to shake their hands. She is also an avid animal lover and will try to hug any animal that comes near her.

Once Novella returned home, she took her laminated photos from the trip to school and "talked" to everybody about them. Her speech instructor said she heard words she didn’t think Novella knew! Her speech really does come easier when there is an emotional attachment, especially excitement and joy.
