Hope

I am not entirely sure why I feel like the tide is turning for us spellers, but I do. Judy just showed me a video of a nonspeaking man thinking to a device on his head that spoke for him. I know it’s not available except in studies, because the FDA hasn’t yet approved it. I am totally pumped though ‘cause it showed the man thinking a conversation with his wife about dinner. It was astounding. 


Between that, and the growing recognition that there is an epidemic of autism, and the fact that spelling continues to grow in popularity (in spite of ASHA), I am feeling wonderful. I truly believe that things will get way better for us over the next couple of years.
