Communication is at the heart of all we do here at Empowered Voices. We aim to provide your loved one who is non-speaking or minimally speaking the ability to communicate in a way that fosters their freedom and autonomy.
Spelling to Communicate (S2C) therapy is an evidence-based intervention for individuals with apraxia, a motor speech disorder that affects the ability to coordinate the movements needed for speech. S2C therapy is based on the idea that spelling words out can provide a "bridge" for individuals with apraxia to communicate effectively.
S2C therapy gives individuals with Apraxia more freedom and control over their communication. Apraxia sufferers can spell out words to express their thoughts and ideas, without having others interpret them. This can improve self-esteem and participation at daily activities. It also helps to improve the quality of one's life.
