I-ASC

About Us

The International Association for Spelling as Communication, aka I-ASC (pronounced “I-ask”), is a global organization of individuals from the nonspeaking and neurodivergent community. We seek to make spelling and the relevant supports accessible to every person who is unable to use speech as a reliable means of communication, regardless of geography, age, socio-economic or educational status. Through resources, programs, education, and events, I-ASC endeavors to create a consistent foundation of standards, best practices, and data that are quickly becoming the cornerstone for expertise in the nonspeaking community. Insurance coverage and wide availability are essential to ensure access to communication for all nonspeaking people. Therefore, I-ASC is committed to setting the standards of best practices to ensure communicative agency and autonomy for all nonspeakers.
