PATTI LOWHORN

True North Connect, LLC

I-ASC Certification (International Association for Spelling to Communicate)
Certified Spelling-To-Communicate (S2C) Practitioner

Patti, a determined mother and an elementary educator with over 25 years of experience, is on a mission to empower nonspeaking/minimally speaking individuals by providing access to communication. Inspired by her son Sean’s transformation with spelling to communicate, she promised herself in the beginning that if this method worked for him, she would become a certified practitioner and share it with others -– which she did! She and her husband, Kelly recently opened their clinic, True North Connect. 

True North Connect is a relationship-first clinic that focuses on purposeful motor through spelling to communicate and adaptive exercise.  With a vision to establish a vibrant spelling community in Michigan, Patti is driven by the belief that every non-speaker deserves the chance for meaningful communication, connection, and purpose. Through True North Connect, she aims to provide individuals like Sean with the tools to communicate, a supportive network of peers, and a sense of belonging. For Patti, this endeavor is more than just a profession—it’s a heartfelt commitment to making a difference in the lives of nonspeaking individuals and their families.
