What is Spelling to Communicate?
Spelling to Communicate (S2C) is an alternative communication method that supports nonspeaking and unreliably speaking individuals in expressing themselves through spelling. Through individualized instruction, S2C helps develop the purposeful motor skills needed for communication through spelling, empowering individuals to communicate their thoughts, feelings, ideas, and opinions.

About the Owner
About the Owner
My name is Elise, I am a Certified Spelling to Communicate (S2C) Practitioner and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 15 years of experience supporting nonspeaking and unreliably speaking individuals.
My journey to becoming an S2C practitioner began after witnessing individuals successfully communicate through spelling when other approaches had not met their needs. Seeing their intelligence, humor, and unique personalities shine through inspired me to dedicate my career to helping others access meaningful communication.
I founded Speak Unique because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to express their thoughts, make their own choices, and be heard. It is an honor to support spellers and their families as they build confidence, develop communication skills, and celebrate every success along the way.
