Facilitated Communication A paper published by The American Psychologist concluding that in controlled research settings people with disabilities were unable to respond accurately to label or describe stimuli unseen by their assistants, and that the responses are in fact controlled by the assistants. http://www.apa.org/journals/jacobson.html
Extractions: Schenectady, NY Abstract. Countless people throughout the world are not able to communicate adequately in speech. They may have cerebral palsy, head injury, or Down syndrome, or may have been diagnosed as having intellectual disability or autism. Intelligence tests based on expressive language underestimate their capacities, and because they cannot express their language they are often thought not to possess it. Their thoughts, ideas, needs, and desires go unspoken. They are trapped in a wordless prison. . . . In facilitated communication training, communication partners provide these people with physical support to help them overcome their neuromotor problems and develop functional movement patterns that will allow them to use communication aids.

It is our aim to establish a high standard of both scientific research and public presentation. The idea of international exchange of knowledge, human resources, publications and facsimiles is to improve the quality of work for all associated members. It is not our intention to exclude anyone who does not meet our high standards concerning the quality of museums work. We rather want to encourage and incorporate other institutions conducting Experimental Archaeology and help them to a higher level. This is meant to foster the reputation of Experimental Archaeology and to cause its deserved recognition within the scientific world. HOME MORE OF EXARC BIBLIOGRAPHY LINKS ... INTERN
