What would make The New York Post @the@NYPost@mastodon.cloud want to run a story on feckless #FacilitatedCommunication (#Spelling2Communicate #S2C)? The author of the article, journalist Lenore Skenazy writes from a position of breathless wonder at the "miracle" of #FC and kindred "communication" modalities. TERRIBLE. @katharinebeals @BronwynHemsley #Pseudoscience @slp_slt @slpfedi @autisticadvocacy

I would love to know more about this. I've had parents swear by S2C and have even recorded a song written by a teenager using the method. Is it a scam? Where can I get further info?
This https://www.facilitatedcommunication.org/blog/is-s2c-really-a-christmas-miracle is a good place to start learning about S2C, Rapid Prompting Method, and various other forms of Facilitated Communication, @GraemeSacks If you can stomach a bit more pseudoscience, look up "Facilitated Communication" in Wikipedia where there is a very well researched and nicely written article, and further leads.
