This is a more recent reference to the statement on the APA website (http://www.psychologymatters.org/facilitated.html) and it references the earlier policy statement in the context of earlier statements which all still seem to be in effect.

Does the scientific opinion continue to be that facilitated communication does not work? APA adopted a policy statement in August 1994 stating this and I find nothing new that suggests that APA's opinion has changed on this. I didn't find any statements by APS. The reason I ask is that I just received a statement that an expert on facilitated communication was going to be running a workshop at Frostburg as part of an special education class and I am concerned that this approach may be presented as a valid approach to be used in the local communities. I have not kept up with this literature so I thought I would ask to see if anyone has and can point me to the present view of such an approach.
