Your donations make a tangible impact on the lives of Nonspeaking, Minimally Speaking and Unreliably Speaking individuals (collectively referred to as "Nonspeaking") and their families. A significant portion goes towards providing scholarships (see more information below) for spellers to work with highly trained S2C Practitioners who are Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), Occupational Therapists (OTs), or S2C Practitioners who are guided by these therapists. The specialized training is crucial in helping Nonspeaking individuals unlock their potential and develop effective communication skills.
Additionally, your support helps fund community events specifically designed for Nonspeaking individuals and their families to connect, share experiences, and access valuable resources. These events provide invaluable opportunities for building relationships, fostering understanding, and creating a sense of belonging within the community.
A portion of the donations also goes towards supporting public education initiatives aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of apraxia and letterboards in the wider community. By promoting public education, we can raise awareness, dispel myths, and foster acceptance of diverse communication methods.
Your generosity enables us to continue our mission of empowering nonspeaking individuals and advocating for their needs. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who rely on our support. Thank you for your support!
