Offering Spelling to Communicate services in Port Huron, MI
Hi, I'm Rachel Damrow
I'm a wife and mom to two little boys, Landon and Tyler. I have a master's degree in art therapy and ran an inclusive arts program for people with disabilities before Landon's autism diagnosis took me on a different path.
When Landon was about 18 months old my husband and I noticed he wasn't speaking yet but believed with early intervention that speech would eventually come. It never did. While searching for a method of communication that would work for him I discovered Spelling to Communicate. Reading about the experiences of nonspeakers who learned to spell on letterboards was life changing and I quickly decided to pursue practitioner training to help my son and others like him.
I started the Spelling to Communicate practitioner training program through I-ASC in August 2021 and completed my internship spring of 2022. My passion has always been helping others to express themselves, only now I use a letterboard instead of a paintbrush. I enjoy building relationships with each speller I work with and am honored to guide them to open the door to communication. I'm looking forward to connecting with you!



My family is starting our own spelling journey and we are excited to build a community of spellers in Michigan alongside you!
