AZ Spellers Academy - not a traditional school!
We specialize in supporting students with Autism through unique methods like letter board communication. See how we're making a difference for our students
Letter boards as a communication device.
Gross motor is easier than fine motor movements, especially for those with apraxia, making letter boards a great way to start working towards open communication..
Apraxia - a common trait in Non Speakers
It relates to the ability of the motor planning parts of the brain to coordinate with the motor functions of the body - If there is a 'disconnect' between the brain and the body, it creates an inability to move the body effectively, which affects communication as well because speech is 100% motor.
