So this film comes in 10 parts?

There is someone who has put a lot of Lifetime work out on YouTube (as in the Lifetime TV station), and it is not yet out of copyright.

What is special about Cries from the Heart / Touch of Truth?

A documentary I would recommend from your Coast is Hold my Hand. This young lady had an inclusive education.

Oh, now I remember!

Circa 1999 (2000, 2001) I was looking around my video store.

Cries from the Heart was there. Probably under the "True stories"/"Drama" section.

Or perhaps there was another film with Kristie Alley playing the mother of an autistic son.

(And, yes, it was in 1994 that I had heard first of facilitated communication: circa September 1994).

I have read Social justice for those with severe communication impairment and it tells of several cases like Michael's, especially "Gina" and "Carla".
