This study evaluated the effectiveness of facilitated communication over a 15-week period with preschoolers, elementary-age children, and secondary-age youth (total n=18) with autism and their teachers who served as their facilitators. Students were unable to correctly respond to questions for which the facilitator lacked answers. (Author/JDD)
