Center 4 Spelled Communication

Who We Are

Center 4 Spelled Communication is a nonprofit adult day program dedicated to serving non-speaking autistic adults who use Spelling to Communicate (S2C) to express themselves. Our team is passionate about creating a supportive, respectful, and inclusive environment where each individual is recognized for their abilities—not their limitations. We serve families and caregivers seeking meaningful daytime support for loved ones who have aged out of the traditional education system.

Our mission is rooted in the belief that communication is a human right. We are committed to creating a space where non-speaking autistic adults are not only supported but truly understood. By embracing Spelling to Communicate (S2C), we provide a reliable and respectful method for individuals to express their thoughts, feelings, and needs—many for the first time in their lives.

We believe communication access should never be limited by cost. Through community support and fundraising, we help ensure that families of all backgrounds can access our day program and services.

What do people Say?

"After years of searching, we finally found a place where our adult son is understood, respected, and truly supported. The team at the Center 4 Spelled Communication believed in his potential from day one, and thanks to the letterboard method, he's now expressing thoughts we never knew he had. It's been life-changing for our entire family."

"Before I had a way to communicate, people didn’t know what I was thinking. Now, I can spell out my ideas, dreams, and jokes. I feel heard and respected here. This center is more than a place—it’s my voice."
