Facilitated Communication Institute

    150 Huntington Hall
    Syracuse, NY 13244

    The Facilitated Communication Institute of Syracuse University is committed to training, research and dissemination of information related to the use of Facilitated Communication.

    Facilitated communication training, FCT, (hereafter called facilitated communication or FC), is one form of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) that has been an effective means of expression for some individuals with labels of autism and other developmental disabilities. It entails learning to communicate by typing on a keyboard or pointing at letters, images, or other symbols to represent messages. Facilitated communication involves a combination of physical and emotional support to an individual who has difficulties with speech and with intentional pointing (i.e., unassisted typing).

    The Institute provides research, training, and public education with regard to facilitated communication.
