Red Eye Report

In this episode of the Red Eye Report, we dive deep into one of the most controversial and scientifically debunked practices in the world of disability care: Facilitated Communication (FC). Marketed as a miraculous breakthrough that gives a voice to the voiceless, FC involves an "aide" guiding the hand of a nonverbal person over a keyboard or letterboard. But what happens when the facilitator is actually the one doing the talking? We break down the devastating double-blind tests, the false accusations that have torn families apart, and the tragic consequences of treating pseudoscience as fact. Grab a drink and strap in. This rabbit hole gets dark.
