TCI will be presenting the full length movie “A Whole Lott More”, a film about the challenges and struggles of a company employing more than 1200 workers with developmental disabilities in Detroit. The film explores the narrow range of employment opportunities available to adults with developmental disabilities and highlights the contributions they can make when provided appropriate supports. Also to be screened are two short films produced by adults with disabilities about the life of an individual with Aspergers and another produced by one of TCI’s students about overcoming the challenges presented by his disability.
