Welcome to Wellspring Guild 


Whether you are a communicator, a family member, a friend, or a professional that connects with this work, you are in the right place!


We are an organization committed to helping non-speakers, and minimal speakers to find and express their voice through Facilitated Communication, also referred to as Supported Typing.


Our goal is to help develop a team of facilitators around every typer, of well-trained individuals who follow best practices.


We provide Foundations Trainings to teach new facilitators, communication partners who are just beginning and we offer guidance to those who want to further develop their skills.


For those who want to take it a step further, we train people to become qualified Coaches and Trainers in this method. 

Communication is essential to citizenship and community participation.


The mission of Wellspring Guild practitioners is to ensure for all non-speakers, minimal speakers and unreliable speakers, a meaningful voice that is personal, authentic, and effective.


How Will The Guild Pursue Its Mission?

By gathering all the people who are supportive of FCT and the Typers who use it, Wellspring Guild has several objectives:


  1. To expand and strengthen the current supportive community.
  2. To promote the standard of best practice for facilitators and typers.
  3. To develop a standard of practice for coaches and trainers that is consistently applied across the United States. 
  4. To build a trainer network.
  5. To strengthen the research-to-practice connection.
