This is such an important article written by nonspeaker Spencer Austin titled "What it's like to have nonspeaking autism and what has helped me".

Imagine knowing exactly what you want to say, but the words don’t make it from your brain to your lips. You know how you want to move, but your body fails to comply.

The most rewarding thing I do is making sure other quality minds have access to spelling. The moment I made my first pokes, I knew this was the different instruction I needed to have more intentional control to strongly make my voice heard. The Peyton Project is my attempt to steamroll every objection families have about starting this really magnificent process to communication. - Peyton

A Peer-Reviewed Challenge to the Assumptions Used to Deny Nonspeakers a Voice

A motor nightmare. Someone says, "Bri, get the blue cap on the table behind you." I know what a cap is and I know blue. I know left and right, in front and behind. I know it all. Yet I cannot navigate my body to execute your directions.

Pointing isn't particularly helpful because I have trouble operating my ocular muscles like everything else. I remember people claiming I didn't have the joint attention to follow a point. Who comes up with this stuff? Visuals won't help. I know what it looks like. I just can't get myself to follow your plan. And I can't make my hand grab the right thing when my eyes do find it.

You might ask how I can swipe that candy from the same table the moment you leave the room, and all I can say is my impulses drive my body a whole lot more effectively than the rest of my brain.

We’ve been excitedly working from our new clinic at 11 McKeon Rd, Mitcham 3132 for the past 12 months, and here are a few photos of the clinic which is home to Spelling to Communicate Services, psychologists, and a new paediatric physio.
Thank you to everyone who has supported this transition.
Excited for what’s ahead! ✨

💛 Celebrating Progress 💛
It’s incredible to see the difference S2C can make. One parent shared how their son has grown so much in just 3 months, thanks to guidance that’s patient, supportive, and tailored to his needs.
At Spell to Connect, every speller is seen, understood, and empowered to communicate in their own way. 💬✨
