Hope for Communication is an inspiring community event that shines a light on the voices of nonspeakers who use Spelling to Communicate (S2C). The evening features powerful stories from four of our incredible local spellers—Charlie, Dan, Marissa, and Talia—along with reflections from their parents, sharing their journeys of perseverance, discovery, and connection.
We’re also thrilled to welcome our special guest, Vince Rinicella from the documentary Spellers. Guests will witness firsthand how S2C opens doors to communication and independence, hear personal insights that challenge assumptions, and experience the deep sense of hope that drives this movement forward.
Whether you’re new to S2C or already part of the community, Hope for Communication is a moving reminder that everyone has a voice—sometimes, it just needs a different way to be heard.
