SPELLERS is a documentary that challenges the viewpoint that non-speakers who have autism have a cognitive disability. Through the lens of eight non-speakers and their parents, SPELLERS shows that a new wave of voices have been found through the use of a letterboard. The letterboards allow non-speakers to spell out each word and form whole sentences, with as much complexity as people who can speak. Inspired by the book UNDERESTIMATED by J.B.

However, the eight non-speakers prove that the new treatment is giving them a voice, whereas past science said they would always be silent.
