Peter Gwazdauskas, a special needs boy with Downs Syndrome, is going to a traditional school with regularly developing students. Originally, he was in a special needs school with autistic/special needs students. Peter was enrolled in a traditional school because federal law states that special needs students should be educated with regularly developing students in traditional schools. Peter's first half of the school year was not going well because he was doing behaviors such as making loud noises, rolling around on the floor, and being injurious towards other students in class. But when it was the middle of the year in January, things started to improve much better for Peter and he did just fine towards the end of the school year. Because of his improvements throughout the year, Peter received an award for being an exceptional student on the last day of school along with his other classmates.

Tourné dans l'école pour enfants sourds de Margate dans le Kent en Angleterre, le film s'intéresse aux visages et aux gestes de petits garçons et petites filles. L'école apprend la lecture sur les lèvres plutôt que la langue des signes, et le film note que seulement un enfant sur trois finit par acquérir un véritable langage parlé.
