SPELLERS

So exciting!! The movie Spellers is on the way to our screens spreading the word that the 30% of the Autistic population (Preverbal people that don’t use spoken words to communicate) are clever and simply require a special method of communication allowing them to organize their bodies in such a way to allow their finger to independently point to letters on a letter board/ keyboard and express themselves. In the states there is Elizabeth Vossellers S2E spell to express method, Somas RPM method, in Israel we have Yael Cohens TTE type to express method… The bottom line is that the world MUST understand and accept that this is the official (and only known) method of communication for preverbal/minimal verbal/non talking autistic community, In exactly the same way that braille is the method of communication for the blind community and sign language is the method of communication for the deaf community.
