This week's trivia question: 

“Out of My Mind,” a Disney Original movie based on the bestselling novel by Sharon M. Draper, premiered earlier this year at Sundance Film Festival and arrives Nov. 22 on Disney. In the movie, Melody Brooks, a sixth grader with a specific disability, has a quick wit and a sharp mind, but because she is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair, she is not given the same opportunities as her classmates. When a young educator notices her student’s untapped potential and Melody starts to participate in mainstream education, Melody shows that what she has to say is more important than how she says it. What is the specific disability of Melody Brooks in the upcoming Disney movie, “Out of My Mind”?
