Facilitated communication



Facilitated communication (FC) is a controversial method intended to help people with severe neurological impairment to use communication aids with their hands. The facilitators claim to offer only emotional and physical support to the user, and that the user points toward the communication device (often a picture board, speech synthesizer or keyboard) by their own will.
