Watch Us

I certainly believe that we can convince people that we are not cognitively disabled if we can get them to see us in person. Too many people judge spelling without ever seeing it with their own eyes. The ribbon-cutting ceremony really showed me what happens when people see us live. No one left that day thinking that spelling was anything but real and miraculous. I could hear conversations all over that had people saying that what they had witnessed was astounding. What we need is to get ASHA to see loads of spellers from all over to convince them. 


One day this will be the accepted form of communication for nonspeakers everywhere. And we will not face the skepticism we do now. Until then, we can make someone a believer by letting them see us spell.
