SPELLING TO COMMUNICATE: Miracle Autism Therapy or Fraud?
Spelling to Communicate also known as S2C is a hot topic right now since the release and recent popularity of the Documercial movie called Spellers and the widely publicized Valedictorian speech of S2C user Elizabeth Bonkers. So what is S2C? Spelling to Communicate is a therapy that teaches non speaking or unreliably speaking autistics to communicate by pointing to letters on a letterboard and spelling what they want to say. The board is held for them by a communication partner. Advocates for Spelling to Communicate make claims such as "I can get anyone to spell for me" and "Autism isn't a neurodevelopmental disorder it's a motor skill issue"
Opponents of Spelling to Communicate say the therapy is just Facilitated Communication or Rapid Prompt method repacked. FC and RPM have been widely criticized as a pseudoscience. The biggest concern is whether or not the messages being relayed are from the person spelling or the facilitator. Despite the lack of evidence based studies the method still brings about some powerful and emotional testimonies from parents and nonverbal autistics alike.
This is my first dive into Spelling to Communicate and my initial reactions to the controversial strategy. While I never want to invalid anyone's method of communication I do have some concerns and a lot of questions.
Have you tried Spelling to Communicate with your loved one? Have you heard of it and what are your thoughts?

Autism therapy vlog! Our girl has been working so hard in therapy and at school to learn social skills and become more engaged with others.

    My three year old grandson does exactly the same thing😊. As soon as his feet hit the floor in the morning, its off to the races. My son is in denial that he needs to be evaluated and tested. But im his full time caregiver 24 hours a day, so i watch his behavior, i nitice EVERYTHING but my son doesnt like the fact that i know and he gets mad at me when i try to talk to him about seeing a doctor

    There are a lot of children labeled autistic today. The government does give financial help to families with austistic children if they fit within their guidelines. I wonder about that sometimes? Once there is a diagnosis the money starts coming in. Our money, the taxpayers. Everything shown in this video I've seen in all toddlers. Makes me wonder about validity? I saw a family on here with four autistic children. I would have thought good idea to stop at two.

    • @thatdailymama
      @thatdailymama 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I get zero government cash for this and in fact had to leave my successful career to stay home and care for her. Severe autism is a SIGNIFICANT disability and isn’t diagnosed out of nowhere. This video was years ago and she’s very much still autistic today, developmentally delayed and requires speech therapy, occupational therapy and behavioural therapy as well as a level of supervision that goes well above normal. Most families struggle to access any therapy funding or programs and depending on location none may be available at all. Waitlists are years long and many of our kids will never be able to live independently. This life is hard. It’s not a money train it’s a money DRAIN. Your comment is not only wrong but insulting and misinformed.

    Special educator here. You will face challenges BUT you can do this. I’ve worked with autistic children since 1971 and have had some wonderful experiences. Observing how it is they adapt and process information, witnessing the hidden intelligence and the joy they can bring has been eye-opening. I send prayers and encouragement to both of you. Enjoy your little girl. Love her. Create great memories together.

    The board should be stationary and not held to voice facilitator influence. Kids can learn to spell and write and type without physical manipulation by anyone. I hope that there isn't an avalanche of sexual abuse allegations made through this as they were through facilitated communication. I saw wonderful parents who were completely innocent accused of sexually abusing their kids.

I noticed every single signs related autism because he was so hyperactive and wasn't acting normal at all.....when i mentioned this to my kids they understood....but my husband couldn't....😢i kept crying and directly went to the childs mom and said that she need to consult a Doctor...she refused...and said tht her child is normal

    My son is soon 19 and recently began communicating via spelling to communicate! He is nonspeaking and has used augementative communication since he was in kindergarten with increasing success but we were still limited to his requests about food choices, where he wants to go, and a couple of feelings he expressed (happy, sad). But in just the last week I have discovered he can spell and answer questions about information I have verbally provided but better yet about himself! I have learned his favourite colour is purple and that he can confirm when he has had a seizure when we are sometimes unsure if he had one. He can tell us why he likes certain sensory things like the sound of velcro or that certain shows help him feel calm. It is nothing short of a bonafide miracle and it costs almost nothing and I have learned from books and youtube. It is not smoke and mirrors it is simple and it works.

    @nikkideshane7777 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s important to understand apraxia/dyspraxia to understand it’s a motor issue. Yes, just like anything anyone learns in the beginning is prompted but those prompts are faded out. It is also a motor hierarchy so the boards change over time while building motor skills. When the motor progresses overtime they can and do type on keyboards or touchscreens to communicate with the end result of independence. Depending on sensory profile some might need a person to say focus, finish your sentence due to distraction with attention etc. However at this stage nobody is holding a board/ keyboard for them or giving any letter prompts. This is actually very different than Facilitated Communication (FC)

    The facilitator teaches you how to assist your own child. You are not pushed to continue going to a facilitator. Lessons are free online and you can buy the boards. You can actually learn online and not pay anyone. Check out Elizabeth Breen nonverbal valedictorian who set up a nonprofit website to instuct parents to facilitate their own children.

      I had a speech delay and didn't eat mainly because I had tonsillitis and constant ear infections. Once the tubes in my ears were put in and tonsils were taken out, that took care of the speech delays and eating problems. I went to speech class, but also once you are around kids a lot like in preschool or a day care, that helps out a lot as well. At least now you can get to your kids early with therapy thanks to videos like this and getting to see the doctor to set up a plan if they are diagnosed as autistic.
