- Gregory Tino is a badass nonspeaking activist who learned to communicate with S2C, or spelling to communicate.
S2C and RPM (rapid prompting method) combine elements of physical therapy to help with motor planning, literacy instruction, and neuroscience to help apraxic autistics with gradually improving motor planning so that they can begin by typing on a letterboard stencil, then gradually moving to a paper letterboard.
With the help of a CRP (communication and regulation partner), S2C and RPM users are helped to keep their focus on a task. Many, but not all, people who spell to communicate (spellers) go on to type independently or even gain the motor control to write with a pencil.
I'm in tears. Thank you Gregory for fighting for non-speakers. Your story is so inspiring.
What an inspiration you are, Gregory! I’ve been working with a few children with autism as a nutritionist but had never heard of letter boards until a dear friend of mine started training to be a spelling to communicate practitioner. She shared your book, The Autistic Boy In the Unruly Body. I cried (actually sobbed) while reading it! What joy I feel for you and all the others being helped with this way of communicating. What you have done and continue to do to help others is incredibly inspiring.
Gregory! Thank you for sharing your words! My son is 26 and I WANT THIS FOR HIM!!!!! God bless you and your work!
Same! Our son is 24 just ordered a stencil... very emotional to watch thanks for sharing
Gregory Tino, if you get to see this comment, THANK YOU!!! You are an inspiration!
Nice job Gregory! My 6 year old son Reese has been on letterboards for about 6 months and is progressing nicely. This video is very inspiring. You’re one smart dude!
My son was born June 7,2023. His name is Reece as well ! Non verbal Autistic.

WELL DONE BRO.
I cannot wait till more people learn about Spelling to Communicate! Greg, this is a lovely video -- and your mom seems lovely, too!
Do children need to know how to read and write in order to do this?
How can I find a practitioner in the Tampa Bay Area, preferably close to Wesley Chappel or dade city in floridad
