The Spellers Method is a proprietary multidisciplinary approach that integrates occupational therapy, developmental optometry, and assistive technology to teach motor skills for spelling-based communication. Unlike approaches that focus on interpretation or mediation, the Spellers Method emphasizes speller autonomy—enabling nonspeakers and unreliable speakers to communicate fluently through spelling AS communication, meaning they control their own words rather than having their words interpreted by others.

The Spellers Method incorporates low-tech assistive technology solutions designed to support spelling-based communication. These tools are selected based on your child's individual motor skills, sensory needs, and communication goals as identified during the assessment process.
