My earlier list of resources, posted in 2015, still has many active blogs and other sources of information and personal stories related to typing or spelling as a means of communication. In the interim, many books have been published and many videos have been added. A quick search of YouTube, for example, will yield many relevant videos. A Google search or a visit to Wikipedia, on the other hand, will leave you in a state of total despair, since almost all references are negative in tone. Here is an updated (but certainly not all-inclusive) list you may find interesting and/or helpful.
Some great new, or relatively new, resources for anyone interested in typing to communicate:
