We planned to start a small program of our own that would hopeful...

How to be a better communication partner ? —-The unseen energetic space that is shared between the communication partner & the speller is essential. It must be synergistic. If it is, the speller’s hypersensitive system will thrive off of it’s coherence. But, most times, this “potent, grounded, synergistic” space takes major practice. It takes us, as the communication partner, untangling the li...

You’ve heard of Telepathy right? Google defines it as the ability to communicate thoughts or feelings directly from one mind to another without using any known human senses. Mainstream media has convinced the masses that this type of ability is bogus. Well.. Turns out it’s not bogus. Plenty of individuals on the autism spectrum have this ability naturally, to tune into another individual’s thought...

The way I practice therapy with non speaking/nonverbal autistic individuals comes from a very close look at the challenges presented by autism. Outside responses and behaviors are dependent on these challenges. In my opinion, WE MUST take this into consideration if we want to have a more whole/accurate picture of what an individual is experiencing and how to best help them and support them.

What if you had a capable mind but lacked the motor skills to speak to let those around you know? This is the reality for plenty of individuals with nonverbal autism.
