No More No More | Facilitated Communication | Spelling to Communicate

This educational video is intended to draw attention to facilitator cuing in a technique called Spelling to Communication (S2C). S2C is a variant of Facilitated Communication (FC) and is also known as Rapid Prompting Method (RPM). This critique features a video clip from a movie called "The Reason I Jump" where a mother and daughter sit on a park bench facilitating. While the mother calls out letters, her daughter says "No more! No More!." Why, we ask, are the daughter's verbal requests being ignored? To date, there are no reliably controlled studies to prove proponent claims of independent communication. Like with FC, which has been thoroughly discredited, concerns about facilitator control over letter selection arise when a letter board is held in the air and the facilitator uses hand signals (and other physical, visual and auditory cues) to aid in letter selection. Organizations like the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAIDD) opposes the use of FC/S2C/RPM citing concerns over facilitator control, prompt dependency, lack of scientific evidence, financial and opportunity costs, and potential harms, including false allegations of abuse. Controlled studies, systematic reviews, opposition statements, and other information regarding FC/S2C/RPM are available on the website facilitatedcommunication.org.
