After reading "Underestimated" by JB Handley they went to see Dawn Marie Gaivin from the Spellers movie, and the rest is history. Listen to the full episode on this channel.</p>

Valeri & Lora-Daughter and Mom who becomes Spelling Practitioner

Spectrum Perspectives is a safe space for parents, families, and anyone touched by Autism and special needs. Hosted by Cindy Gelormini, a mom who’s walked this journey herself, the podcast shares real conversations with parents, adults on the Spectrum, professionals, and advocates who understand both the challenges and the beauty of living life on the Spectrum.
Cindy isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions and open the door to topics that parents often wrestle with quietly—things like ABA therapy, bullying, vaccine injury, abuse, and new ways of communication such as Spelling to Communicate. As the show grows, so does the conversation—Season 4 explores spiritual insights, including telepathy and the hidden gifts that many families are just beginning to discover.
If you listen with an open mind and a tender heart, you may find comfort, hope, and maybe even a brand-new perspective on what it means to love someone on the Spectrum.
