We're back for a special episode on communication equity (regular episodes resume in May!). Spelling is an amazing gift to nonspeakers and their loved ones, but there are many barriers to access to spelling. This is particularly pronounced for BIPOC communities, as well as low-income communities. We share perspectives and focus on the Communication Equity campaign by Spellers & Allies Advocacy Network at I-ASC.
