Facilitaded Communication gets local press coverage

I can't seem to get the video to play, but is it about Carly Fleishmann? If so, there is another thread discussing whether this is FC or not.

This video is not about Carly, this one, looks like the classic FC where you the child never types by himself, his hands are under control of the facilitator at all times.

In the Fleishmann case it looks as if more is going on than FC but I remain skeptical.
 
Was hoping to give an update but have recieved no response yet and at this point I expect none. I was hoping to at least get an e-mail reply. Actually I never liked this reporter even before this story.

If you can't get the video to work and would like to see it just type in wkow.com and do a search on austism on the site. It'll be one of the first ones.

Bummer. Unfortunately, some of these reporters love the woo, and don't care about the facts. Frankly, it seems to me that shining a spotlight on what FC does to believing families, would make for an excellent and interesting series of news articles. Don't know why a reporter wanting to make a name for himself won't examine something like this.

At any rate, you did a good thing, and should be proud. :)
 
Carly Fleischmann and the autism assisted software?

hey, here is a thread about Carly Fleischmann the young girl with autism, and the computer software assisted communication.
It looks like the computer software creates words and sentences.
Does anyone know if this has be verified by credible testing?
