Unreliable Speakers

Many of us have experienced moments when our child says “yes” when they mean “no,” or vice versa, or they express wanting to go to the park but then become upset once there. These misunderstandings often stem from apraxia, which affects speech production and leads to unreliable communication. It’s a frustrating reality for many parents—believing our child’s words for years, only to realize later that much of what they said wasn’t what they truly intended.

My own son has struggled with unreliable speech for years. We accepted his words at face value for 18 years, only to discover that he hadn’t been able to convey his true thoughts and feelings. SPELLERS provides a reliable method for individuals with Down syndrome to communicate effectively.

Deep down, don’t you sense that your child has more to say than they can express? Isn’t it clear in your gut that they understand far more than they can articulate? I felt this way too, but like many parents, I didn’t know where to turn. As my son grew older, I found myself feeling hopeless after trying various speech therapies and interventions that didn’t yield the results we needed. Little did I know there was an option like SPELLERS available for him.

SPELLERS offers a pathway to reliable communication. This method doesn’t just address communication—it restores hope and empowers our children to thrive in their own unique ways.
