| I am a speech and language therapist researching and practicing in the field of Facilitated Communication (FC) for 16 years. This is a form of alternative communication that teaches children and adults who do not speak, or whose speech is only partially effective, to point for communication purposes. Early reports that FC enabled people to spell out complex language were not substantiated by research findings. More recent research is showing strong evidence that the introduction of FC can enable people to communicate for the first time, enhancing quality of life and reducing frustration. Some people who have followed this training method now type independently. | ||

Jean has been practising as a Nutritional Therapist for the last twelve years. During that time her younger daughter was diagnosed with autism. After much heartache, Jean decided to put her energies into extensive nutritional research and came across the DAN! protocol. With further training she became a DAN! practitioner with her daughter as her first patient. She now works with more then 150 children across the autistic spectrum implementing bio-medical interventions which includes diet, supplements and detoxification. Jean provides an exclusive parents internet forum (which she monitors), where parents can support each other through the programme. Jean can be contacted via The Chester Clinic, Chester CH2 1HX Tel: 01244 390411 Email: info@autism-aspergers.co.uk Website: www.autism-aspergers.co.uk |
