We serve children 3+ and adults of any age.

Nonspeaking (formerly called nonverbal) people, minimally speaking people, and people who have scripted and/or unreliable speech have great success communicating with S2C.

Autistic individuals, as well as people with motor sensory differences, use this as an effective, impactful communication method.

Here is a more detailed description of the type of nonspeakers we work with:

Nonspeaking: Someone who does not or rarely speaks with words but may produce sounds.

Minimally speaking: Someone who may be able to communicate simple requests like what they would like for a snack but are unable to use speech to communicate deeper or more complex thoughts such as their emotional experience.

Unreliably speaking: Someone who may say many words, such as phrases from a movie or the name of a restaurant, but are unable to access speech as an intentional means of communication.

If someone you know cannot share their thoughts, ideas and emotions, they are a candidate for S2C. S2C has expanded the communication possibilities for many children and youth (5-18) and adults (18- 65+) who identify with or who have been labeled with:

• • • Autism
    • Down’s syndrome
    • Angelman’s syndrome
    • Rett syndrome 
    • Cerebral palsy
    • Other sensory-motor differences
