We SUPPORT nonspeakers, unreliable speakers and echoic speakers to live their best lives. Individuals with apraxia have intelligence just like everyone else. They are not weak-minded, inferior, intellectually disabled, (insert any other insult of your choice), or unable to accomplish their goals. Those with apraxia need a way to communicate EFFECTIVELY with the rest of the world. Communication is a RIGHT, not a luxury.
Anyone in the Spellerverse should be seen as an ally. With the right support you are ABLE TO learn, just like anyone else.
The people involved with I-ASC and the Spellers Freedom Foundation are all allys. We understand the “why” behind why your body may not be working the same as others. We BELIEVE IN YOU AND YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS. The resources below will help you meet your goals and dreams. Get involved.
Speak YOUR truth and let the world know how great you really are!

I-ASC
International Association for Spelling as Communication
|
The I-ASC is the original Spelling based organization that supports world wide advocacy of Spelling as a means of communication. Elizabeth Vosseller is the founder of I-ASC and she is a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) that learned over the years that spelling is a valid way to improve the lives of non-speakers. Paulette was able to train with her in person and on-line during her studies. I-ASC has a Leadership Cadre made up of spellers to support the current and future needs of spellers.
