Marjorie Hansen

Marjorie has a BA in Secondary Education from Brigham Young University. She is the mother of an autistic, nonspeaker who uses a letter board and keyboard as his alternative communication (AAC) devices and has been Spelling to Communicate since April 2021. She served on her city’s SPED-PAC Board for three years and has served on the CAB (Citizens Advisory Board) for the Metro Middlesex West Region of DDS since 2018. Marjorie is a certified S2C Practitioner. Marjorie enjoys reading and going on adventures with her family. She is a painter and printmaker. Her paintings have been shown at ArtsWorcester and the Fitchburg Art Museum. Marjorie H. works Mondays and Wednesdays.

After witnessing the tremendous growth of emerging spellers, Marjorie Billeter recognized the power of neuroplasticity and knew she wanted to be a part of this transformational experience. Marjorie is a certified S2C Practitioner who loves working with nonspeakers of all ages and helping them find their voice through spelling. She is currently a high school human anatomy and physiology teacher and also serves as the advisor for the Community Service, HOSA-Future Health Professionals, and Neuroscience Clubs. In her elusive spare time, she enjoys hiking, meeting new people, and listening to their stories.

Mike is a certified S2C Practitioner whose mind is set on helping as many nonspeakers communicate through spelling as he can, even if that means working 10+ hours a day! He became a full-time spelling practitioner after supporting nonspeakers of all ages in schools for 8 years. Mike came across S2C in 2023 and immediately knew what his next steps in life were - to become a practitioner! When he isn’t at the office, he enjoys kayaking with a mountain view, eating a delicious meal, or running around with his dog, Loki! I can not wait to get to know YOU through spelling to communicate!
