About Us

Empowered Voices

At Empowered Voices, we support individuals of all ages with motor and sensory differences. We are educators, speech therapists and behavioral therapists trained in communication and education. As S2C Practitioners, we always presume competence.

We coach bodies to be purposeful and obtain reliable communication. Our team is excited to begin this partnership with you and your child. Through the purposeful motor taught to successfully use the letter boards, you will be able to discover your child’s voice.

Our Services

What We Do Best

We recommend weekly sessions for spelling for communication.
We do have bi-weekly and monthly options for families who may be semi-local.
How long it takes for an individual to become proficient in spelling is determined by two main factors: the complexity of their sensory-motor profile and the availability of resources, such as time, energy, and finances, to attend regular sessions and practice at home.
Spellers will participate in a 60 minute session where we work on your child’s individual goals. As a parent/caregiver, you will be trained as your speller’s communication regulation partner.

Our story

Empowered Voices all began with a young man named Vince, who was falsely labeled low-functioning and non-verbal for 18 years. “Being a non-speaker with apraxia in a neurotypical world could be incredibly frustrating and isolating. It was like nobody understood the way my mind and body worked. It was like I was locked away without any means of escaping.” Vince was taught on a letterboard how to speak his truth and has since wanted to share this technique with everyone who is autistic and/or apraxic.

What People Say

Client’s Talk

Empowered Voices takes pride in the education they provide to their students. Each case is different and requires a deep understanding of what their needs are…

Nina is a 25 year old with Cerebral Palsy, epilepsy and is non-verbal. We started this journey several months ago with s2c. I was a bit skeptical at first, but as we have really begun to understand how this works, not only has Nina's communication skills increased, but also her ability to put thoughts and phrases together has increased. We see new words developing every day and for Nina's world this is huge. She is becoming more and more skilled at texting and communicating through spelling. She listens more intently and has a focus that we have never seen before. We are so excited to further her abilities to become fully able to communicate through s2c training.

Erica is a 33-year-old with Arboleda-Tham syndrome. We started S2C a few months ago to supplement her communication skills. Erica has limited verbal skills and we wanted her to be able to communicate in another way. We have tried AAC in the past however Erica was never motivated to use this type of communication. We also found it very limiting in Erica’s ability to fully express her thoughts and ideas. When we heard about S2C and how it has helped other individuals communicate, we thought why not give it a try! The words we see Erica spell are incredible and we are truly amazed at her abilities. Although we are fairly new to this program, we are looking forward to seeing Erica reach her communication potential through spelling. We believe S2C will expand Erica’s ability to communicate in ways we never thought possible.

Mimi Todd has been my daughter's Spell to Communicate Practitioner for over six months now. She connected with my 21 year old daughter quicker than any practitioner has ever been able to connect with her previously. I have seen great progression in my daughter's ability to express herself these past six months. She is a non speaker, but Mimi has opened up her ability to communicate more than any other type of therapy, device, or means of communication before. Mimi is "unlocking" the knowledge that my daughter has in her brain that I regret to say, I never knew was there! Mimi is not only a highly proficient professional, but a great pleasure to work with, as she is teaching me, as well! I highly recommend her to any parent of a non speaker.
