Out of My Mind - exclusive clip! 💚
Today, Disney+ has released Out of My Mind, a new film about the lived experience of Melody, a young girl with cerebral palsy.
The film`s launch is a milestone for our community in its portrayal of a non-verbal wheelchair user, and we are excited to collaborate with Disney to share this film with the world.
It`s a story about non-verbal communication, disability in education, acceptance and stereotypes - but most of all it`s a film about one girl`s will to overcome discrimination and share her voice with the world.
Out of My Mind is available to stream globally on Disney+ now 🎞
"I have celebrated World CP day, everyday for the last 11 years of my life... I have read about people`s lived experiences, I have spoken to over a thousand parents of children with CP."
Hannah, the founder of Ghana`s Special Mothers Project, has been celebrating World Cerebral Palsy Day as a platform for her disability advocacy for more than a decade.
Swipe to read Hannah`s reflection on the role World Cerebral Palsy Day plays in her advocacy and why she is so passionate about supporting other parents of children with CP.
Every person with cerebral palsy`s experiences are unique - and this is true of our family members and carers too 💚
