Parents often ask us, ‘What’s the difference between traditional therapy and what you do?’ 🤔 Many of our clients have experienced traditional therapy but still face challenges making progress or openly communicating. That’s where we come in! 💡✨

By integrating S2C (Spelling to Communicate) into our therapy, we:
🔑 Address the brain-body disconnect
🌟 Presume competence
💬 Unlock limitless possibilities for communication

It’s more than therapy—it’s giving clients a voice and a way to truly connect. 💛

Have had this for a while, but with a jam-packed 4th term just hadn't gotten round to a brag post about it 🎉

Super excited for the journey ahead to help nonspeakers and unreliable speakers achieve autonomous communication 🤩

Not just in awe of these beautiful school photos, but also in awe of the hard work that each and every learner and staff member has put in this year 💙💙💙

Always think about what you would need when you're the one having a meltdown... ♥️

Quote of the Day

28/11/2024

Teach the skill before trying to assess the skill 🌿

A lot of the time it's not a case of 'won't'.

Ours kids do the best they can.

When they don't do well it's because there are barriers.

It's our job to figure out what they are, and remove them.

Yes?

At I-ASC, we celebrate ALL forms of communication—whether it’s through spelling, AAC apps, speech-generating devices, or speech itself. Every individual deserves the tools to express themselves fully and meaningfully.

💡 While we support all methods, I-ASC exclusively trains in S2C:
Spelling to Communicate (S2C)™ is transformative because it teaches nonspeaking individuals the motor skills to accurately spell on 26 letters, unlocking full, robust, and flexible communication. While picture exchange apps and speech-generating devices are helpful, they rely on pre-programmed words and icons that often can’t capture the depth of someone’s thoughts, emotions, or interests.

Want to engage deeply in the classroom? Discuss the latest news? Share meaningful conversations with friends and family? With S2C, 26 letters open a world of infinite possibilities.

Communication is a fundamental right, and we’re here to ensure every nonspeaking individual has access to it. Learn more at https://i-asc.org/s2c-spelling-to-communicate/

So helpful! And I think a lot of the concepts can and should be applied to our neurotypical kids as well. ALL kids should be allowed to feel safe and loved. Heck, even some of us aldults need some help identifying who and what is good for us and learning the skill of setting healthy boundaries. Love this NeuroWild ♥️

Happy Speech Therapist Day to all my fellow speechies 🤗 Keep spreading the basic human need of communication!

Taking your kid to an Autism assessment?
Let them know what’s going on.

It’s not a scary thing figuring out what kind of brain you have.
And it makes a lot of sense to do it.
How else would you know how to take care of it?

Start the conversation on the right foot.

Being Autistic is fine.
Being confused, isolated, and thinking you’re broken is not.

Yes?

Today, September 30th, we stand united with the millions of nonspeaking individuals who express themselves through AAC devices, spelling, sign language, and more.

Nonspeaking Awareness Day is more than just awareness. It’s about demanding equity, respect, and inclusion for those who communicate without spoken words. No one should be ignored or overlooked because they don’t speak with their voice.

How can you take part?
🔹 Advocate for accessibility
🔹 Challenge the barriers
🔹 Empower every form of communication
🔹 Donate to help every nonspeaker have access to communication.

To directly support nonspeakers right to communication, please donate to I-ASC: https://shorturl.at/kqcwJ

Each contribution helps to provide communication resources, training, and advocacy for non-speaking individuals. Let’s break the silence around nonspeaking communication and ensure everyone’s voice is heard LOUD and CLEAR! 💬💪
