GIVING THE NON-SPEAKING A VOICE

SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN: Communication Through Spelling
Giving the power of communication to the non-speaking/minimally-speaking, including those with autism and developmental coordination disorder

It wasn't until my autistic son was 25 years old that I learned how to teach him to spell using a letter board; and I learned that all the motor impairments I had recognized in my son all these years had prevented him -- his entire life -- from showing me that he has both normal language and exceptional intelligence. He didn't just know his letters, I discovered, but had been reading since he was 2 years old! Alex's story...
