Facilitated communication

Facilitated Communication (FC) is a technique used by some caregivers and educators in an attempt to assist people with severe communication disabilities. The technique involves pointing to letters on an alphabet board, keyboard or other device so that the person with the communication disability can communicate. The facilitator holds or gently touches the disabled person's arm or hand during this process. In addition to providing physical support needed for typing or pointing, the facilitator provides verbal prompts and moral support. In addition to human touch assistance, the facilitator's belief in their communication partner's ability to communicate seems to be a key component of the technique.There is widespread agreement within the scientific community and multiple disability advocacy organizations, that facilitators, not the person with the communication disability, are the source of messages obtained through FC. Most experts in the field consider FC to be an invalid form of communication that causes great risk to people with communication disabilities, their families and their caregivers. Scientific consensus is that FC is devoid of scientific plausibility and became discredited by the late 1990s. In 2015, Sweden banned the use of FC in special needs schools.
