1 Day Spellers OH Connection Workshop
Our Ohio-based workshop experience is for neurodivergent people who use text-based multimodal communication & their communication partner (all levels welcome).
Our goal is to create an environment where all unique behaviors are welcomed, and everyone feels supported wherever they are in their communication journey.
We blend spelling opportunities into nearly all our activities so families can practice communication and experience the joy of connection in a welcoming natural setting.
We limit the size of our workshops to provide 1:1 lessons for our spellers and coaching support for communication partners. You will have opportunities to try new activities in a nurturing environment and create lasting friendships and memories.
