Communication Matters

Across this site, you will find links to documentaries, videos, articles, blogs, books, and social media accounts shared by nonspeaking self-advocates who spell or type to communicate, and speller allies.

Their messages remind us that communication takes many forms through spelling, typing, art, movement, and more. Their stories offer powerful examples of what is possible when nonspeakers are heard, supported, and included.

This resource is not exhaustive, but a starting point to celebrate autonomy, challenge assumptions, and honour the many ways nonspeakers live, learn, lead, and speak for themselves.

Every person communicates differently, and every form of communication matters.
