“We are so grateful to AALIVE and to Inside Voice for giving our son the opportunity to express himself using Spelling to Communicate. The Inside Voice staff are dedicated professionals with endless patience. Their work in teaching our son to use a letter board to communicate has finally given him a way to express his thoughts and feelings. We are overjoyed to finally be able to see the world through his eyes.

“Tom and Emily at Inside Voice have been incredible coaches for our son. He has made astonishing progress in his communication skills and it has been a joy to us to get to know him better.

— Jen L.

“Inside Voice has changed EVERYTHING about OUR lives as well as our son’s life. He can now participate in family decisions, give us his opinion on things, and (my personal favorite) trash talk with his siblings!! He is able to express himself about why he does certain things due to his autism, and what he needs of us to help him. This in turn has made him a much happier person....which makes ALL of us happier. It is the most profound thing we have ever experienced in our life, bar none.

-Linda T.

“My 31 year old minimally speaking autistic son’s personality has changed substantially!
After many years of therapies, he is so much happier now knowing we understand how smart he really is. We were skeptical at first whether he would be a candidate for the letterboard, but this method has opened his world and ours like no other program.

— Carol R.

“For 25 years our son lived in “silence” – unable to communicate his thoughts, ideas, feelings, opinions, desires, hopes and dreams. In the past year since he has been working (very hard) to learn to spell to communicate his life has dramatically changed. He is now sharing all of this – and more. We are learning with him, from him and about him in completely new ways. The transformation in all of our lives is profound. Spelling to communicate has given him so many new things: a beautiful and unique voice, self-confidence, the ability to make decisions and make choices. Now he can write birthday greetings to us and his siblings. He can participate in family games like Taboo or Bananagrams. He can gossip and tell jokes. We are so grateful to Inside Voice and AALIVE for bringing this method of communication to our family.
