Event Details

Join us for the theatre premiere of Spellers: The Movie! Inspired by the book Underestimated, the new full-length documentary Spellers challenges conventional wisdom regarding a group relegated to society’s margins: non-speakers with autism, who most “experts” believe are cognitively disabled. The movie tells the story of eight non-speakers who found their voice through the miraculous process of using a letterboard to communicate, showing as one speaker said they, “think, feel, and learn just like everyone else.”
