What is Spelling for Communication?

Spelling for Communication is a method that helps individuals who cannot rely on speech express their thoughts through spelling or typing. By developing motor skills and learning to point to letters, they gain a reliable way to communicate their ideas, knowledge, and emotions.

Non-Speakers

Little to no speech.

Minimal Speakers

Some speech but not enough to fully express thoughts and feelings.

Speech that may not always reflect true thoughts (i.e., scripting)

Unreliable Speakers
