Dear Friends,
I am so thrilled to announce a new course that I am offering! This is an important topic, and I am eager to help other spellers through their transition to life with communication.
Announcing “Stepping into a new life: How to identify, prioritize, and plan for your goals,” a 3-session short course pilot.
Gaining access to communication is a huge shift for nonspeakers. It is exciting, but opens up a new and complex world of possibilities to navigate. We will share guidance for how to identify, prioritize, and plan out goals for this new chapter of life. Participants will share their goals and we will teach and work through the steps of defining and planning specific toward those goals.
– We will pilot this with six speller participants to begin with. If more than 6 interested parties contact us, we will randomly select participants.
– Open to fluent spellers with their CRPs (Communication Regulation Partner). Please contact me at DannyWithWords.com/contact or send me a DM here to learn more and/or register!
– Sessions will be via Zoom, on Mondays (June 24, July 1, July 8) from 3 to 4pm Pacific Time.
– The cost is $30 for the whole course (payment via Venmo, Paypal, or Stripe preferred, but other options can be explored).
– Each session builds on the previous session, so please intend to join all 3.
Taught by me and my sister. I am a nonspeaking autistic advocate and writer, who finally gained communication access in my daily life four years ago. I know firsthand how exciting but also overwhelming it can be to face this huge life change. As an active member of the Spellers and Allies Advocacy Network and the Nonspeaking Leadership Council of I-ASC, I am familiar with the diverse journeys and options that many spellers choose in their new lives.
My sister Tara is an expert in project planning and monitoring and evaluation, holding a PhD in marine conservation (with research focused on project evaluation) and working as a consultant for major global conservation organizations. She is an experienced trainer, and also has been the main advisor to me in structuring my life since I gained fluency with her. She is a certified Spelling to Communicate practitioner.
We will work to make the course materials available online after for other interested spellers and families, with the option to schedule consultations with me – stay tuned for announcements about this!
We look forward to sharing lessons from life after spelling with you.
Thank you,
Danny
