If a student was quadriplegic I wonder if the proponents would still advocate for FC?

# data[].attributes.body
That's a great question, Kimeisha

# data[].attributes.body
I definitely agree. Facilitated Communication does have their pros and cons. Since there were issues surrounding FC, other methods are appropriate for those with ESN

Using EBP's are crucial for students with disabilities due to the possibility of the student being non verbal and help can manipulate responses to cause harm and/or lie for results

Plot Twist! Wow. I've experienced this in my career. I had an individual that made allegations against her parents and it was dismissed by DCF, because her family said that due to her disability, she makes things up!

# data[].attributes.body
this is when training on the best practices to make sure they are being enacted correctly is so important

I agree! yes, the LDA approach was important here about always trying more...but...remember that "data" piece of LDA.

ummm what

It is also shocking that to this day parents do no think their child can attend college.

example about how perceived communication / intelligence level influences what they are exposed to and how they are viewed (e.g., to have opinions or not)

I love how by using the least dangerous approach, she was able to excel. Her parents speak really highly of her. I think the family support is important. -Kimeisha

We use a hand over hand appoarch at my school... its a major part of our model

# data[].attributes.body
yes

or that the inability to talk gives her a lesser life

# data[].attributes.body
one thing that bothers me in most "popular press" news stories about people with disabilities is that they perpetuate the "pity" view of people with disabilities...

# data[].attributes.body
does she communicate at all
