A new path to communication begins here.

The Spellers Method™ is a form of AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) that teaches individuals to spell and type as their most effective method of communication.

Individualized support.

Spelling empowers nonspeakers, minimal speakers, and unreliable speakers of all ages to unlock their voices and confidently share them with the world.

The Spellers Method™ incorporates research and expertise from the following fields:

Occupational Therapy
Developmental Optometry
Assistive Technology

For some spellers, the ultimate goal is open communication on a stencil; for others, it means pursuit of autonomous typing skills i.e., typing without a trained communication partner holding the keyboard.

A unique path to fluency.
