Helium Hearts
Helium Hearts is a DVD documentary that covers the capstone of Peyton's inclusive educational experience: her valedictorian speech given at the graduation of Cuyamaca Community College Seniors in 2002. In her address to her fellow students, staff, and faculty, Peyton encompasses themes of inclusion, segregation, personal and global peace, support, and of course, the helium heart. It includes two versions. In addition to her valedictorian speech, the video contains news coverage surrounding her graduation and interviews from professors, DSPS Director (Dr. Yvonette Powell), students, family, and friends (Rita & Sue Rubin, Dr. Friedman). An excellent pick for anyone seeking to know about successful, supported, and inclusive education!.
Praise For Helium Hearts:
"Peyton Goddard has limited speech and a very wonderful voice. Her prose is poetic
and prophetic. It calls each of us to return to our helium hearts of childhood."
