Elaine Hall
Elaine Hall “Coach E!” referenced by The New York Times as “the child whisperer,“ is a pioneer in using inclusive theater, film, music, and movement to bring out the best in individuals of all abilities. Elaine was a top Hollywood acting coach when her life changed dramatically after her son was diagnosed with severe autism. When traditional behavioral therapies didn’t work, she sought information from experts in the field and then rallied creative people to implement what she learned. Slowly, her son merged out of isolation. Elaine developed these methods into “The Seven Keys to Unlock and Understand Autism” to train others and created The Miracle Project, a groundbreaking inclusive theatre, film and expressive arts program, profiled in the Emmy winning HBO documentary, AUTISM: The Musical. The United Nations selected Elaine Hall’s memoir, Now I See the Moon, for World Autism Awareness Day. TheMiracleProject.org
