About Me | S2C With Adrienne

Adrienne Murphy

S2C Practitioner

I'm an I-ASC-certified S2C (Spelling to Communicate) Practitioner based in Dublin, Ireland who works with nonspeaking, minimally-speaking, and unreliably-speaking children and adults to help them develop the motor skills to point to letters on a board and communicate their thoughts. I also coach family members and communication partners to support this process.

My Story

About S2C

About my work

I'm an S2C Practitioner, certified through the International Association for Spelling as Communication

(www.i-asc.org). I’m also a freelance writer, journalist, and magazine and book editor, with a masters degree in Modernist Literature.

I set up my S2C practice in Dublin 8, Ireland in 2024. In my work as an S2C Practitioner, I coach nonspeaking, minimally-speaking and unreliably-speaking children and adults with various diagnoses to gradually develop the arm movement skill to point accurately at letters on alphabet boards. The result of this process enables nonspeakers* to communicate their previously locked-in thoughts.

The goal, as S2C students gain in motor dexterity, is to transition from pointing at letterboards to typing on keyboards.

I also coach my students’ family members and allies how to “communication and regulation partner” – to CRP – for their nonspeakers.
