I am honored to present to you the award-winning documentary SPELLERS that  includes 8 non-speakers, unreliable speakers or echoic speakers.  This movie is starting a REVOLUTION!  The movie is based on the book, Underestimated An Autism Miracle, by J.B. Handley and Jamie Handley.  Both the book and the movie are very empowering, motivating and inspirational.  A must watch movie if you know someone whom strugles with speech delivery.

Inspired by the book Underestimated, the new full-length documentary SPELLERS challenges conventional wisdom regarding a group relegated to society’s margins: nonspeakers with autism, who most “experts” believe are cognitively disabled. As the film opening asks, “What if we’ve been wrong…about every single one of them?” SPELLERS answers that question, in convincing fashion, through the stories of eight nonspeakers—Aydan, Evan, Sid, Maddie, Jamie, Vince, Cade, and Elizabeth—who all found their voice through the miraculous process of using a letterboard to communicate their thoughts and feelings. As Jamie explains, “we think, feel, and learn just like everyone else.”
