This article discusses a documentary film created by students with learning disabilities to share their wisdom. "Speak Out for Understanding" is a new film on learning disabilities created by a group of students at a Vermont high school. Made on a shoestring, the award-winning 32-minute documentary overturns a number of popular assumptions about learning disabilities--and tries to teach a new way of talking about the people who have them. The film gives viewers a close look at the real lives of four students who have learning disabilities. Viewers see Tucker Sargent shredding on a snowboard; Tanner Skilton acing a downhill slalom course; Grace Kirpan showing off her cross-country running medals; and Emma Wade playing saxophone in the school's jazz band. They also hear Tucker describing life with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; Tanner talking about the world as seen by a person with dyslexia; Grace and her mom discussing their experiences with Down syndrome; and Emma explaining how she knew "something was wrong" even before she was diagnosed with specific learning disabilities. Viewers hear how students feel, in their own words, about the labels applied to people with disabilities.
