Bill! I guess you don't fully read and digest and store away someplace
in the netherlands of your memory, all TiPS discussions ;)
We had a rather interesting discussion about this when Syracuse hired
as it's dean of the school of education Douglas Biklen, a proponent of
FC. Should be in the archives.
Wikipedia has a nice summary of the current state of affairs.

ps: then again, my memory has been really failing me lately, c.f., the
discussion of Anne Murray versus Helen Reddy; so maybe the FC
discussion was on PsychTeach....
Quoting Bill Southerly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.
Thanks,
Bill
