A Collection of Holiday Lessons

This book is a collection of lessons for nonspeakers built around the theme of holidays - lessons with universal appeal, that have been designed for practitioners, CRPs and parents who use Spelling to Communicate (S2C). S2C is a method that teaches the purposeful motor skills to point to letters on a letterboard or keyboard to enable nonspeakers to communicate. Lessons are used in S2C toprovide the motor practice of pointing to spell, while engaging the brain in an age-appropriate manner, presuming competence in the nonspeakers' intelligence, comprehension and language ability. Each lesson contains informative and engaging paragraphs on a particular topic. Each is followed by color-coded questions, that allow a speller to progress from closed-ended to open-ended communication, and build endurance and stamina to spell despite motor and regulation challenges. Nonspeaking (formerly called nonverbal) people, minimally speaking people, and people who have scripted and/or unreliable speech have great success communicating with S2C. Autistic people, as well as people with motor sensory differences, use this as an effective and impactful communication method.
