ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Our speakers reviewed and discussed the history of a technique called Facilitated Communication, purportedly used to communicate with individuals with severe autism,  developmental delay, or brain injuries. The technique has since been comprehensively debunked--watch and learn how providers can go wrong by failing to adhere to standards of evidence.
