Negative Positive
Title: "Facilitated Communication" has been completely debunked!
Review: I am rather surprised to find this book is still in print. "Facilitated communication" was debunked several years ago. To quote from csicop.org: "Controlled studies repeatedly demonstrated that the facilitator in fact manifested the messages communicated by the nonverbal individuals either intentionally or unintentionally. (See James A. Mulick, John W. Jacobson, and Frank H. Kobe, 'Anguished Silence and Helping Hands: Autism and Facilitated Communication,' Skeptical Inquirer, 17(3): 270-80, Spring 1993.) As stated by Gorman (1998), 'When the assisting facilitator could not see or hear the questions presented, autistic individuals could not communicate correct answers, and what was typed was actually what the facilitator saw' (64)."
Is the review positive or negative?
