Multidisciplinary Perspectives of the Film SPELLERS. CME-CEU Accredited Course
Multidisciplinary Perspectives of the Film SPELLERS: Considerations of Implicit Bias & Therapeutic Interventions For Non-Speaking Individuals with AutismThe documentary film SPELLERS is going to change the way the world perceives non-speaking individuals with autism. The implications of this film is leading practitioners, educators, and even families to reevaluate expectations and therapeutic approaches of this complex, multifaceted disorder.
The documentary SPELLERS pushes us to dig deeper, reflect on our own biases, and develop new and appropriate therapeutic approaches that best serve non-speaking individuals with autism and apraxia. It shows us that “assuming competence” leads to better outcomes and breakthroughs.
We are encouraging providers and educators to attend this film screening, and so we have partnered up with R.E.A.C.T., Research & Education for Autistic Children’s Treatment (https://reactforhope.org) and MNI-Great Lakes ECHO to provide a certified continuing education opportunity after watching our screening of SPELLERS to listen to a 70min multidisciplinary post-viewing discussion by doctors, providers, educators, and parents regarding the implications this film will have on the ways we develop goals, expectations, and interventions for non-speaking individuals with autism and/or apraxia.
We believe the impacts of this film will dramatically shift our understanding of autism and it’s important that providers and educators are prepared for this shift by watching this documentary and then taking this post-film continuing education course.
This is the second half of this CME/CEU PRA Category 1 Credits activity. Participants need to watch SPELLERS first, on-demand, virtually, or in person at a location nearest you by going to: www.SPELLERSTheMovie.com/watch .
