Need a fun motor activity that actually supports communication? 👀

We’re working on motor skills, coordination, and engagement—all through play! Activities like this can support students with apraxia and those using Spelling to Communicate by helping their bodies feel organized and ready to express.

Plus… it’s a LOT of fun 😄
Would your child try this?

Spelling reminds us of something powerful: Speech is not the only way to communicate, and silence is not the same as absence of thought.

For many nonspeaking individuals, the challenge was never intelligence — it was motor control. When we provide the right supports, patience, and belief, incredible thoughts begin to emerge one letter at a time.

We are constantly inspired by the insight, humor, wisdom, and perseverance spellers share with the world. 💙

Practice doesn’t always make perfect BUT it does make pathways permanent. The more we practice, the more ingrained the motor skill becomes.

Spell during session, receive coaching, and then "Spin to Win" for some extra motivation and fun!

Acceptance. Change. Access.

At Growing Kids Therapy Center we teach individuals with motor difficulties to coordinate their brain and body to communicate on a letterboard by spelling.

Who We Are

Growing Kids Therapy Center is dedicated to teaching non-speaking, minimally speaking and unreliably speaking individuals how to Spell to Communicate (S2C). GKTC has a diverse interdisciplinary team working to meet the needs of our students with motor and sensory differences. We believe that communication and motor control leads to autonomy, independence and inclusion.
