“The hosts of this show are warm, intelligent and I believe deeply well intentioned. But Dr Prizant’s endorsement and completely unskeptical presentation of Spelling to Communicate aka Rapid Prompting Method is deeply concerning. This is pseudoscience at best. There is no scientific evidence that the communication being generated is actually authored by the non verbal individual. The American Speech Language and Hearing association amongst many other speech therapy organizations has warned against it. Most speech language pathologists view it as a new spin on facilitated communication-a debunked, dangerous modality that has resulted in many abuses of nonverbal individuals and their families. As a mother of an autistic son and someone who understands the academic literature on this topic-I view this as deeply irresponsible and actually denying what is ‘uniquely human’ about the non verbal individuals engaged in rapid prompting method-instead channeling our own hopes/ideas about what they ought to be.”

“I enjoy this so much! Thank you for this amazing resource for the community. I do request/suggest/wish the background music could be removed during discussion. It is very difficult to concentrate on the words while music is playing. I have to skip those parts which is unfortunate.”
