Facilitators move away and facilitated communication users change programs, jobs or schools.
Many facilitated communication users have expressed frustration in their circumstances because they have limited access to their means of communication. However, it seems to be inherent in the method that a training process is a continuing requirement for its effectiveness. In the past year I have had the opportunity to work with a number of facilitated communication users in the training process. These people hoped to expand the number of facilitators who could support them, or develop the skills of one particular person. Most of these people are adults, but school age children have been a part of this experience as well.
