Facilitated Communication: An Experimental Evaluation.

Regal, Robert A.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v24 n3 p345-55 Jun 1994

Nineteen adults with developmental disabilities, judged competent in facilitated communication, participated in a validation study using an information passing design requiring short-term recall of stimulus cards with shapes, colors, and numbers. Results failed to validate facilitated communication for the group as a whole, any individual facilitator, or any of the subjects. (Author/JDD)
