Importance of Research-based<br />

Interventions<br />

• Facilitated Communication (continued)<br />

• American Psychological Association (1994):<br />

• facilitated communication is a controversial and unproved<br />

communicative procedure with no scientifically demonstrated<br />

support for its efficacy.<br />

• Association for Behavior Analysis International (1995):<br />

• It is the position of the Association for Behavior Analysis that<br />

FC is a discredited technique. Because of the absence of<br />

ample, objective, scientific evidence that FC is beneficial and<br />

that identifies the specific conditions under which it may be<br />

used with benefit, its use is unwarranted and unethical.<br />
