Usually, so there's different forms of spelling to communicate. Often there's like a letter board, right? Sometimes it's a stencil letter board that you poke a pencil through so you really know when you get that letter and it's really satisfying to get the poke through. Sometimes there's just a laminate board where you kind of point to a letter.

Yeah, using your body. And the thing I think why spelling has been so โ there's such a stigma around spelling. And I feel so bad for individuals using spelling because they're in there and they are communicating. But people have said, oh, but you need the support so these can't be your words, right? Like for a spelling partner, let's say โ You have to kind of learn to be a communication partner.

So those supports are critical. But people will look at those supports and say, oh, well, that must mean they're not typing independently. But to me, that's as wild as saying, oh, you need reading glasses? You can't read. No, that's a support to help you read. You can still read if you're reading classes. And that's how I think of the communication partner.
