Facilitated Communication is a buzz word being used by Educators as one more way to improve the environment of the schools. I am not familar enought with the psych concepts so that may not be the same reference..

Speaking of FC, I am trying to locate a copy of Frontline's Prisoners of Silence. PBS headquarters no longer offers it for sale. I think that it's still quite timely, but our library's VHS copy is rapidly deteriorating, and unless I can find a copy to purchase I don't know how long I can continue to use the material. Does anyone either know where a copy is still available for purchase, or (perhaps the long shot) know how to get PBS to reissue it?

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....
