17 years ago, after my nonverbal 3 year old autistic son exhibited signs of being able to spell using his letter magnets, we bought him a talking dictionary off of Amazon. It opened up a whole new world of communication, and we learned he could speak in complete sentences! He did finally master his speaking voice at almost 8 years old, but for five years we were blessed to be able to get to know our son through the gift of spelling. ❤️
I cried on every page and I don’t know JB or Jamie personally. It’s one of the most moving, powerful, beautiful books I’ve ever read. Cant wait for the movie
I can't believe I just found this article. I'm sorry, we never had our planned talk, don't know what happened there but would like to try again.
Thanks for mentioning my dear friend, Liam. Yes, I know exactly what you mean, over Covid I've often wanted to hear his thoughts which no doubt would be spot-on and hilarious.
There's so much to unpack here, I will have to private message you soon to get into it. But I just wish to say, I appreciate you so much. - April
In order to use s2c, one must first know howo spell the words that they want to say.
In order to know how to spell, one must know how to read. Are there any of you that have taught someone to read that SEEMS to function at a 14 month old level?
SPELLERS has documented a miracle

nice essay
I agree with most of this, but if someone has echolalia wouldn't that be a language problem instead of a physical problem?
