Spelling to Communicate

Monday, November 4
6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

Spelling to Communicate teaches individuals with motor challenges the purposeful motor skills necessary to point to letters to spell as an alternative means of communication. Sam Fox from Beyond Speech Therapy Center will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of S2C, its implementation, and how it can benefit individuals with Autism.
