A free online consultation is part of our intake process, and lasts between 30 minutes to 45 minutes. We explain what we do, what S2C is, and why it works. We go through the typical content and process of each session, the planned frequency of sessions, and associated costs. We explain what parent coaching consists of. We invite you to ask us your questions and we welcome your search for answers. We hear from you about your child, so that we can understand their needs and interests. 

Parent coaching occurs during the one-on-one session. Your practitioner will share the why and how of S2C from the very beginning. Observing sessions will help you absorb so much. When you start spelling on the board during the one-on-one session, you will get direct feedback from your practitioner. In addition you will receive training materials - a parent handbook and access to short webinars that teach the core concepts and techniques of S2C.

We are building motor skills, in order to access communication. A  minimum of one session per week, and maximum three, one hour sessions per week is recommended. Consistency is key, which can result in faster motor skills acquisition during this process.

Once your child establishes a relationship with their one-on-one practitioner, and develops accuracy on the boards, they are in a place to start our fellowship groups. At our groups they get to meet and interact with other spellers and practitioners. Take a look at our Fellowship offerings for further details.

The Parents Circle meets twice a month at the CrimsonRise location. This offering was co-created with Mindfulness with Melissa. This group is for parents who have a child 16+ or older, looking for a space where they can focus on their own well-being while planning for their child’s future. Each session is designed to foster mutual support and provide tools that empower the parent to embrace self-care while navigating future planning for their families.

We are always looking for Communication and Regulation Partners (CRP). Sometimes we are also looking for trained S2C practitioners. For other roles, we place our requirements on nonprofit recruitment portals such as Indeed.

If you are interested in a position with us, please reach out to us at info@crimsonrise.org

A CRP partner is someone who provides motor support to a speller to help them accomplish their goals. This could be with spelling, exercise, yoga, or in community settings. A CRP also critically provides regulation support, using strategies that have been created with input by the speller for the speller. A CRP is trained and supervised by a certified S2C practitioner.
