Description

Body Brain Connection and Mind & Motor Pathways are hosting a FREE screening of the movie, Spellers, that won the Best Documentary Award at the Phoenix Film Festival earlier in April. Spellers is a film featuring autistic, nonspeakers who spell to communicate.

The film, co-executive produced by Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and her husband Donnie Wahlberg asks the question of those in the audience, “What if we’ve been wrong about every single one of them?” What if we have grossly underestimated each nonspeaking autistic’s cognitive abilities; and worse, what if we continue to miss out on the contributions of these beautiful minds–millions of them? Spellers not only asks this of the viewers, the film provides undeniable proof the world is now moving towards the answer through the work being done by trailblazing spellers who are able to communicate their thoughts for the first time in their lives.

Immediately following the film there will be a panel consisting of nonspeakers, professionals, and parents to field questions from the audience. There is a link to sign up for a free ticket to this in person event: kinema.com/events/spellers
