Here is the institute's website. It looks like they are still going strong. They have PhD students and publish their research in their own publication. When challenged (I contacted them a couple of years ago) they refer to a few individual case studies where FC did work (but no large scale studies with lots of participants). It typically generates heated discussion among my students that the institute is still working when FC does not work (at least for most children). It really is one of the best videos for making it clear why we need research. Marie
