The individuals who use S2C to communicate who have contributed to the blog this month have done an incredible job sharing what nonspeakers have to say. Thank you for shining a light on who they are inside, and for giving them a voice.
Gabe and Jade Alto are on a mission to empower families who have dreams of true communication to learn about Spelling to Communicate. S2C has changed their lives and they want to change the world and help others!
I’ve been saying the same things about autism forever and ever, so I thought I’d focus on something different. This month I’ll be sharing the voices of nonverbal individuals who use S2C to communicate. I hope you’ll listen because everyone deserves a voice!
My son, who has autism, still has a long way to go, but we have made progess. So I want to end Autism Awareness Month focusing on these wins. We may not have major milestones, but we have a million tiny pebbles. That may take longer and make it more difficult to build our mountain, but we still keep going.
Our children are in there. Talk to them as if they understand everting you say and one day they just may let you know that they do hear and understand you.
Small gains can add up to big things for kids with autism. Alison hilariously shares how her daughter Leah learns to care about how others are feeling while she hones her healing skills and her vocal techniques.
People often don’t realize is the herculean effort that is behind our kids’ accomplishments. The road can be tough and lots of hard work is required but we appreciate every new victory. The difficult journey makes every little accomplishment that much sweeter.
When Mary’s son Daniel fully recovered from autism, she made it her mission to help other autism families. Over the years she has inspired and helped countless families affected by autism. Read the amazing story of Daniel’s recovery and her mission of hope.
Sarah’s son David was considered to have “worst-case-scenario for autism” by specialists due to his highly aggressive and self-injurious behaviors and complete lack of verbal communication. Today, thanks to Sarah’s commitment to healthy diet and detox, David is considered high-functioning. He is now verbal, learning job and money management skills, he is happy and all negative behaviors are a thing of the past.
Jenna was diagnosed with autism at age 4. Today, she is taking college classes, holds a junior Black Belt in karate, and is an amazing self-advocate.
Carly Fleischmann is changing the way the world sees individuals with autism. Her thoughts are a window into all that lies beneath the surface of autism. You will be amazed!
Welcome to April – Autism Awareness Month. Families affected by autism are stuck in autism every month, sans the blue lights and fanfare.
My autism journey has changed the way I live and care for my family. I am passionate about nontoxic products, natural remedies, grain-free nutrition, essential oils, and healing the symptoms known as autism. This is a space for anyone aspiring toward cleaner, healthier living.
