Speller Access Fund

Speller Access Fund FAQs

• What is it? 
  • We understand that there are considerable financial obstacles for families these days, and we don’t want finances to be a barrier to access to communication. We have been actively working on raising funds to help new spellers who need financial assistance to afford S2C sessions with a registered S2C Practitioner.  We have achieved some fundraising goals and are ready to launch our Speller Access Fund. 

• What does the I-ASC’s S2C Speller Access Fund provide: 
  • Set of stencil letterboards 
  • 2 workbooks 
  • 5 sessions with a registered S2C Practitioner participating in the Speller Access Fund Program 

• Who is it open to? 
  • Qualifying applicants are individuals who are nonspeakers, minimally speaking or unreliable speaking. Funding for this program is limited. It is intended only for families in need of financial assistance who are otherwise unable to obtain access to Spelling to Communicate (S2C) and is open to US or International individuals. 
  • The individual you are applying for must be 7 years of age or older.  
  • Only parents or legal guardians may apply on behalf of their child/adult. 
  • A Communication Regulation Partner (CRP), which is an adult who is committed to learning and helping the individual to effectively use Spelling to Communicate and must be available several days a week. 

• What practitioners participate? 
  • Contact I-ASC to locate an S2C Practitioner who is participating in the Speller Access Fund. Email info@i-asc.org for information on an S2C Practitioner near you. 

• I don’t live in the US. Can I still apply? 
  • Yes, it is open to US and international individuals. 

• What if there is no practitioner near me? 
  • You may do virtual sessions with a registered S2C Practitioner. 

• Does this apply to virtual sessions? 
  • Yes. Email info@i-asc.org for information on S2C Practitioners available for virtual support. 

• How soon will I see results? 
  • Understand that an S2C Practitioner will get you started and support you along the way, but the true work is done at home. Only with repetition and practice will S2C be successful.
