Between 30-40% of people with autism spectrum disorder are non-speaking or minimally speaking, meaning they don't speak at all or speak fewer than 30 words. Spelling to Communicate (S2C) is a revolutionary method that teaches non-speaking people to communicate using a stencil board helping them to finally find their voice. In this episode you'll meet Elizabeth Vosseller, aka "EV", the founder of S2C. She discusses the difference between being "non-speaking", "minimally speaking" and "unreliably speaking", and how the reason many cannot speak is due to "Apraxia" which is a motor planning issue, not a cognitive issue. She discussed the 4 pillars of her foundation I-ASC, the International Association for Spelling as Communication, which are: 1) Training 2) Education 3) Advocacy and 4) Research, which will help bring S2C to the main stream making it available to be taught in schools.
