Spectrum Perspectives-Cindy's Perspective

Cindy give the inside scoop about what her guests are NOT saying in their interviews. After watching the movie "Spellers", she's been doing a series of interviews about methods using Spelling to Communicate. She is hearing and seeing miraculous results in non-speaking autistic children and adults as the world of communication has finally opened up for them. However, she has learned that ASHA has publicly denounced these methods, causing much harm to the Spelling to Communicate community. In this episode she reads their statement, and quotes from the book "Underestimated" by JB Handley. ASHA needs to retract their statements so they don't appear first in Google searches because it's keeping people from trying these methods, and because of their statement families have not been allowed to use these methods to communicate in their schools causing much harm to the children.
