🔔 FREE online viewing of SPELLERS the movie - A documentary showcasing an extraordinary technique to give non speaking autistics ‘a voice’.
In September, we hosted a gathering of educators, family members, experts by experience, and change makers for an in-person screening of SPELLERS the movie, followed by a Q&A panel with practitioners and researchers from the University of Cambridge. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who attended and joined our campaign to bring letter boards to the UK to give a voice to the non-speaking community.
The feedback from the evening was overwhelmingly positive, with many people expressing a desire for their family members, colleagues, or friends to have also been able to attend in person. In response, we have decided to organise an online viewing of the event on Wednesday, October 18th, 2023, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM BST.
Described as “an autism miracle,” this movie screening is one you certainly do not want to miss. Recognising its significance and impact, Act for Autism is sponsoring the evening to make it free and accessible to all interested individuals. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think would benefit from attending.
