Fellowships
Our fellowships (otherwise known as Groups) are open to all – neurotypical and neurodiverse – and are a forum for group interaction, teamwork, relationship-building, and learning. Once a speller has settled into their one-on-one spelling sessions we offer them an opportunity to learn with their peers. It provides fluent spellers an opportunity to be mentors, and for new spellers to see what it is to have access to communication. All the other benefits of group learning apply – working as a team, enjoying the dynamics of being in an upbeat and supportive learning environment, building self-confidence, and being paired with different S2C practitioners.
