Spelling to Communicate (S2C) is a method designed to help non-speaking individuals communicate effectively by spelling words using a letter board or device. It focuses on building a connection between the individual’s thoughts and their ability to express them through written language. The process involves guided interactions with a trained practitioner to develop communication skills, starting with basic letter recognition and progressing to full sentences.

During your first session, we will conduct an initial assessment to understand your unique needs and goals.
