Facilitated Communication: Holding on to (False) Hope

The Atheist Society of Calgary is hosting Janyce Boynton in a talk about Facilitated Communication as part of their We Can Reason Series of webinars.

Facilitated Communication (FC) is a technique used on people with severe communication difficulties as an alternative to valid Augmentative and Alternative Communication methods. 

​Janyce is an artist, educator, and advocate for evidence-based practices in the field of communication sciences and disorders. As a speech/language clinician in the early 1990s, she became involved with facilitated communication. Her story, first as believer, then as critic, is well-documented and was featured on Frontline's “Prisoners of Silence”.

The event is online and free with registration. March 1, 2021. 7pm MST.

Update: The webinar is available for viewing on the ASC Youtube Channel.
