Dear Friends,
I am so grateful for you! It is still hard to believe that I have a global community of friends. It is such a gift. I can’t convey the loneliness of my life before communication access. Sadly, millions of nonspeakers remain without communication access today.
I am so thankful to International Association for Spelling as Communication (I-ASC) for their work building a global network of spellers and training cohorts of practitioners. And they truly welcome nonspeakers using any method of text-based communication. I know there are other organizations doing great work for nonspeakers, and I love that I-ASC is just part of a constellation of shining stars for us. But I focus on them here because they are staunchly committed to promoting speller voices in decision making and leadership, and because I am directly involved in their advocacy and leadership.
So allow me to suggest them as you think about who to give to on Giving Tuesday. Help us reach our goal of raising $5,000 by Tuesday, November 28, 2023, by clicking on the link here. #IASCu2Care #GivingTuesday
They are absolutely doing amazing work! Their efforts have been a major part of my new chapter of life. Thank you, I-ASC, for all that you do!
Your Friend,
Danny
