I deeply do not wish to get back into yelling about #FacilitatedCommunication, but there really are people out there 1) fully discounting the value of science to evaluate it AND 2) fully embracing the ESP of it all that is the way some practitioners "know" FC works.

Non-verbal Alex's speech facilitator claimed he'd said-via an ABC board-he wanted to live in a town away from his family

As she learnt, it very nearly did #facilitatedcommunication

UK NICE Guidelines say #FC shouldn't be used.

Her 2023 text 'Navigating AAC') was sensible.

It would have been more mind-twisting had the answers been correct when the facilitator was blind-folded and the child did the typing (instead of the other way around). But, alas, no...they've proved once again that when the facilitator knows the answers, the FC-generated messages are correct.

Proud to stand up for communication rights.
What’s the reason I am being attacked over an empty systematic review? (PS it’s not to do with ASHA or ABA at all).
i think it’s because the main NLA teachers are supportive of #FacilitatedCommunication and #RapidPromptingMethod
Just resubmitted this.
