The Spellers Handbook is the first of its kinda comprehensive guidebook that every family should take along for their Spelling journey.

The Spellers Handbook is informative not only for parents and caregivers but for practitioners and professionals as well. It answers questions from the most basicwhat to expect during the first spelling session, to more clinicalwhat is apraxia, and how does it affect my speller It even discusses the importance of regulation and how the interpersonal dynamic between the speller and their communication partner can impact flow.
The journey toward open communication differs for every family, and this handbook is here to help remove any guesswork. Whether your path seems straight and easy to navigate or the road ahead appears winding and twisting, Dana and DM are here to guide you. If you walk away with nothing more than the confidence that you can do this with your nonspeaker (because you CAN), The Spellers Handbook has done its job!
