Why not just bring out a Ouija Board? That would look 10×'s more legit than whatever this is.

Munchhausen by Keyboard.

how did anyone ever believe this stuff actually worked?

...I notice there are no POC in this room. Black mom, 2 ASD nonverbals, please cut the bull sh*t. Yall will NEVER play with my boys like this.

this shits just fucking weird lol

if this communication avenue is possible it'll come naturally without pressure or force, give people the chance and they'll grow and develop any ABA style "learning" should be banned

It’s like some bizarre cult where people are convinced that obvious nonsense is real. The “facilitators” are clearly using their hands to make the patients’ fingers type the facilitators’ own message.

This is sickening

Crazy how 99% of the time they are "assisted" typing while looking anywhere EXCEPT the keyboard. I could not type with 1 finger on a keyboard without looking at it and I have no disability. Also, you can see the "facilitator" is the only one looking at the keyboard when typing is happening 100% of the time. Especially the dark haired shoulder length woman and the boy, both facing the camera . Sad living in a world of make-believe

Bizarre that the people manipulating the autistic people like puppets are not even aware that they are exploiting their students-how unaware of reality are these people?

look at the boy turning away-he simply doesn't want to type. Bizarre that this was posted as evidence that FC works.

This is abusive behavior

Nice puppet show

FC is a cruel, tragic farce that exploits those it claims to help

FC is a hoax! Watch the kids: they aren't even looking at the letters!!!!!! The facilitators are having a great convo with each other, but the patients are not

0:57-1:03: The young man starts to press keys all by himself while the facilitator is momentarily distracted. The facilitator then uses force to regain control of his hand. The method might have some value for physically/neurologically impaired people with limited motor control, but what we see here seems to be make-belief pure and simple.

Quack Science disproved in 1994.

FC has been proven scientifically to not only be useless, but it can be harmful. Stop this, now.

im autistic myself and i can assure you i cannot type with one finger without looking at the keyboard

Pseudoscience at work.

"Facilitated Communication training is widely used-" stop. No it isn't. It's roundly been debunked, exposed, and trodden to death at this point. It is FAR from "widely" used. It exists on the sidelines, in the realms of wishful thinking.

Am I missing something? This just seems the most obvious horseshit. They're not even looking most of the time! I know theres autistic people who can't or won't talk but write, but they don't need someone grabbing their wrist....because they can..... you know, actually type.

Can i use some parts of the Video for a Univerity project?

You are liars and anyone with a brain knows this is bull. This has been debunked over and over. Stop filling people with false hope!

Good lord, this is a steaming pile of BS! The patients are being used and the "facilitators" are either liars or just delusional.

This is horrifying.

It is obvious that the facilitators are moving the hands of these people. One is tapping the same key with his other hand, one is looking away. It is also ludicrous to think these severely disabled people could type anything intelible with all the distraction going on in that room.

"Supported Typing" AKA "Forced Typing"

If Facilitated Communication really worked, and judging by the lad's body language, he would be typing, "Leave me alone!"

This is abusive. She is violating his bodily autonomy. Not to mention putting “words in his mouth”. That poor kid.

The first kid tries to type with his other hand, but the facilitator deletes it because it’s “wrong.” If the kid is genuinely able to type, why not encourage him to type independently?

Poor kid doesn't even want to type. This is pure BS

Myth and not ok there is no evidence this is legit because it isn’t !!!! Your need as a parent shouldn’t create false hood

Complete bullshit. Only an idiot could possibly think these kids are spelling out words without even looking at the letters.

This is an amazing display of FAKE SCIENCE or ANTI SCIENCE. Call it what you want but its all bullshit

This is written by the former therapist from one of the first sexual assault trials prompted by FC: teachingpsychology.weebly.com/uploads/2/5/8/0/25809801/facilitated_communication_what_harm_it_can_do.pdf

Facilitated Disaster?

Facilitated Communication or Supported Typing has a mountain of research showing consistently that utterances produced come from the facilitator, whether consciously or not, and not from the person with the disability.

Unbelievable. This peoples are scamming society and live from money earned with fraud.

This even LOOKS silly! I mean, are the people behind FC mind-readers, all of a sudden? NOT LIKELY So how would THEY KNOW what the "right" keys to push are for someone? To even THINK this is remotely-accurate is incredibly ludicrous

Please tell me people aren't STILL seriously using this shit?? It's already been WIDELY-DEBUNKED, for christ sake! Move on to SOMETHING BETTER and invest in MORE RESEARCH to see if you can find an "actually-credible" way to "type out the thoughts of people with disabilities" instead of keeping THIS bullshit!

I THINK THIS IS A LOAD OF COW FLOP.

0:07 makes it clear this is fake. The fellow is looking away while his "facilitator", unaware that he has turned his head, is still typing.

I'm sorry, this is just very sad stuff. Of course it would be wonderful if profoundly impaired people could use this method to communicate, and of course it's easy to empathize with the facilitators and family members who wish that was so. But, even if they don't realize it (re. the ideomotor effect, confirmation bias, etc.) these people are using their communication partner's hands as ouija planchettes. They've reinvented the 19th century seance.

Facilitated Communication is a HOAX! There have been countless studies done supporting that it is fake. And let's not forget the allegations of sexual abuse through FC. That's right! The people who supposedly "help" these kids communicate, actually type in sexual abuse claims to get the parents in trouble with the police. This "practice" needs to be outlawed. It is not real!

this is sooo bogus. they are obviously directing them

I have a special education for autism and I can tell you that this method is mostly not working! be aware and ask critically and proof this method! it can also harm people's grow up

the disabled individual often is looking completely away from the keyboard while typing with one hand (absolutely impossible, even for typing experts, one needs to situate themselves on a keyboard to be able to type eyes closed) while the facilitator is always staring directly at the keyboard. why do people still believe in this? I have a loy of contempt for facilitators who make a living doing this. they are essentially using a human being as a puppet, and the family is often none the wiser. if you are a facilitator and believe this is working, please do some extensive research and then attempt to do some double blind tests and really ask yourself whether or not you're kidding yourself. humans lie to each other and to themselves all the time, and sometimes a lie gets so out of hand that all those involves forget it's a lie. I feel bad for these disabled individuals as they are being used in a very abusive way with FC.

This is so sad- the evidence against FC is overwhelming and yet 20 years later people are still promoting it. This is frankly unethical. It is impossible to type with one finger without looking at the keyboard. The only person looking at the keyboard here is the facilitator. This is NOT real communication, this is the facilitator putting words into the child/adolescents mouth. Do the research- FC does NOT work.
