Additional Information: Spelling to Communicate (S2C) teaches non, minimal and unreliable speakers the motor skills to be able to point to letters to spell as a form of communication.
Apraxia is when someone’s brain is telling their body to do a motor task but their body doesn’t do it – there is a brain-body disconnect. For individuals with apraxia (Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Autism), fine motor skills including speech is extremely difficult. S2C teaches gross motor skills by coaching the speller to use their arm to point to letters on a series of boards spelling words and eventually sentences.
