Maya Corneille
NIA School
S2C Practitioner
RPM (level?)
NIA is a microschool serving autistic minimal speakers and nonspeakers. We are an intentionally small school to give our students the specialized attention they deserve. We have a 2:1 or lower student-staff ratio and small class sizes. This means we are able to design a curriculum by using each child's strengths to help them reach their goals.
Danielle Corneille
High Five Language and Learning, LLC
Speech and Language Pathologist
S2C Practioner
Through 10+ years of experience working as a Speech Language Pathologist in outpatient pediatrics, specializing in Dyslexia, Autism, and Apraxia, I developed a deep care and understanding for individuals with communication and learning differences. However, by far, the single most valuable part of my education has been in my role as a family member (aunt) to a wonderful Autistic, minimal speaker who now uses Spelling to communicate. I currently work with nonspeaking, minimally speaking, and unreliably speaking individuals ages 7 to adult, using S2C. When appropriate, I may incorporate my training as a speech pathologist using methods such as PROMPT, which is a tactile- kinesthetic approach to teaching motor movements for speech.

The Growing Place
Speech & Language Pathologist
S2C Practitioner
Bryana is an S2C practitioner who has been practicing since 2015 and works with clients from approximately 4 years old and up through 1:1 virtual and in-person sessions.

Dr. Jen Leon is an Atlanta-based certified mathematics educator, practitioner, and a parent to a wonderful autistic son. She is the Founder and Director of All Minds Academy an online high school for neurodivergent students who communicate best by spelling or typing. Though trained to work with student spellers and coach their communication partners more generally, Dr. Jen's specialization and primary focus is in mathematics. She works with students privately at her Atlanta office and virtually as well. In addition to teaching math using her adapted curriculum, Dr. Jen serves as a communication partner for students for math assessments, provides education consultation to families and schools, and provides general math evaluations. Out of town students can schedule evaluations in person, if traveling to Atlanta is an option, or virtually.

Branndan VanEgmond
Special Education Teacher
Health Coach
S2C Practitioner
Branndan works with clients in Newnan, Peachtree City, Fayetteville, Griffin.
Katie Asher
Special Education Teacher
Health Coach
S2C Practitioner
I trained my son to spell to communicate and he is now a fluent 27 year old speller who attends college and spells for his classwork. After his breakthrough I went through S2C training because I wanted to offer the same opportunity of communication for other non-speakers and unreliable speakers. My main area of focus is parent education and training.
Quesia Raqib
Special Education Teacher
S2C Practitioner
I started working with the neurodiverse community 18 years ago as a special education teacher. I have worked with students ranging from pre-K to college. I've taught students who've carried various "labels" such as autism, learning disabled, cognitively impaired, cerebral palsy, and legally blind. I've taught students in the United States and abroad in Senegal, West Africa. I am also the mom to a 15-year-old son who has been diagnosed with autism and can be considered "unreliably speaking". I see the difference spelling is making in my son's life and the rest of our family. I’m both excited and honored to share the gift of “spelling” with you and your family.
Whitney Pfohl Stovall
LPC, NCC
S2C Practitioner
My passion involves working with, learning from, and advocating for the neurodivergent community. My mission is to bridge the current gaps that exist surrounding accessibility to mental health and other related services, specifically for the autistic population. I currently serve as the child therapist at a private psychiatric practice in the Atlanta area. Play and relationship-based approaches are at the center of all my work. I additionally operate from strength-based and solution-focused approaches, and utilize the neurodivergent model as a framework to guide much of my therapeutic understanding. I believe that every child is capable, if given the appropriate support, love, and tools to reach their greatest potential.
Lisa Bergquist
Certified Yoga Instructor
S2C Practitioner
Lisa Bergquist is an I-ASC trained S2C practitioner and a certified yoga instructor through the Yoga Alliance. She is currently taking Spellers Method training. Lisa received her B.A. in Biology from Kennesaw State University. After teaching yoga for 15 years, Lisa was introduced to S2C by a dear friend, where she found an instant connection. S2C, like yoga, is based upon bringing the mind and body together. With a focus on refining gross motor skills, Lisa teaches people with sensory and motor differences to use spelling to communicate their thoughts and ideas. With patience and fortitude, there is so much the spellers can accomplish!
