About Our Provider

Bryana Williams is a speech-language pathologist and I-ASC Registered S2C Practitioner who completed both her undergraduate and graduate degrees at Purdue University. 

 

Since 2015, Bryana has worked primarily with children and adults with Autism and other motor-sensory differences through the practice of Spelling to Communicate (S2C). This approach has since become the focus of her professional career, and the highlight of her personal growth as a therapist. Her professional training has included a semester-long internship with the Hirsch Academy in Decatur, GA and an intensive 6-month practitioner training through the International Association for Spelling as Communication (I-ASC) along with numerous individual and group client sessions. She continues to pursue training and experience in this approach so as to provide the highest quality support to families of students with Autism, Apraxia, and sensory-movement differences.
