PRESENTATION FOR OPTOMETRISTS- Tuesday January 20, 2026
Dr. Daniel will be speaking to optometrists in London, UK to teach them about spelled communication for non-speaking individuals. This event will be live-streamed and recorded so that those who cannot attend in person can view the presentation on demand.
PRESENTATION FOR PARENTS, PRACTITIONERS AND THERAPISTS -Wednesday January 21, 2026
Dr. Daniel will partner with Dawnmarie Gaivin , founder of the Spellers Method to give a presentation to parents, spelling practitioners and therapists. This event will be recorded so that those who cannot attend in person can view the presentation on demand.
What You’ll Learn
- The foundations of the Spellers Method and why it presumes full competence.
- How motor differences, not cognitive deficits, shape communication for non-speakers.
- The crucial role of vision, perception, and motor planning, explained by a developmental optometrist with decades of experience.
- Practical tools and strategies that families, teachers, and practitioners can use immediately.
- Real stories, real progress, and hope for every individual, no matter their speaking abilities.
Who Should Attend
This event is ideal for:
- Parents and families of non-speakers
- Educators, therapists, SLTs, OTs, and SEN professionals
- Communication partners and Spellers Method practitioners
- Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of supported communication and motor-based learning
Why This Event Matters
For many non-speakers, the barrier isn’t understanding, it’s motor control. When you combine the Spellers Method framework with an expert understanding of the visual and motor systems, you unlock a powerful pathway for communication, learning, and autonomy. This event delivers exactly that.
Join us for an empowering, compassionate, and deeply informative session that could transform the way you see communication forever.
