The Facilitated Communication Institute The Facilitated Communication Institute conducts research, training,
and public education designed to expand opportunities for people
with disabilities to be heard and to participate fully in society.
Faculty, staff and students at Syracuse University founded the Institute
in 1992; its purpose is to focus attention on individuals with developmental
disabilities who have traditionally been silenced as a result of
their own communication disabilities and by social policy and human
service practices that ignore their communication potential. |
