REV AccessAbility is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has supported non-traditional communication since 2017.

In conjunction with Reach Every Voice, REV AccessAbility has hosted the College Bound Academy, a workshop for non-speaking autistic students determined to go to college. Participants learn about the possibilities of higher education for students who spell, point, or type for communication. Along with the possibilities, we learn about the challenges, perhaps the largest of which involves funding for supports in college.

​

Planning for life after K-12 education is not straightforward for many nonspeaking autistic students. Things like jobs, college, and building a meaningful life are often incredibly complicated.

 

College is an enormous expense for typical students who have no need for specialized support. Students who require a communication partner to attend college often bear an even larger expense in the training and payment of these partners. Resources abound for students ages 21 and younger; however, the funding often trails off in adulthood, especially for students who are seeking a fulfilling life outside a residential or day program.

​

This same struggle applies to those who need support in a workplace.

​

With this insight guiding our mission, REV AccessAbility is narrowing its focus to provide access to supports after K-12 education ends for students who spell, point, or type to communicate.

 

 

Help us support these students as they achieve dreams of lifelong learning and fulfillment.
