Family Film Event featuring Wings of EPOH prented by SARRC

The Family Film Event is presented by Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) and features short films especially for families to enjoy together.

We will be presenting three short films which will be followed by a talk from Holocaust survivor Gerda Weissman Klein, whose story was made into the Oscar- and Emmy-winning film, One Survivor Remembers.

The following films will be presented as part of this program:

The Velveteen Rabbit directed by Denise Quesnel

A toy rabbit yearns to become 'Real' through a child's love. Through his journey, the Velveteen Rabbit learns the mystery of Nursery Magic and becomes Real in more than one way. Presented by Kids First!

Im Here and Wings of EPOH based on the story by Gerda Weissmann Klein Creatively interpreted by Peter H. Reynolds (Illustrator) and Paul A. Reynolds

The films Wings of EPOH and I'm Here have been developed to promote increased awareness, tolerance and support for students with social differences. The films can be presented either at a school-wide assembly, in the classroom or in a small group setting. Also included are tips for peers, teachers and parents about how to help children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) or other social differences learn strategies for social communication in the home, school and community.
