So bring us up to speed about what this stuff is, uh, first, and then we can go into what the, I guess, the attendant problems are with them.

Sure.

So there was a, a speech and language pathologist who was working in a, an institution in Australia named Rosemary Crossley in the 1980s, and she sort of through happenstance and circumstance began to use a technique wherein she thought she was supporting a person with cerebral palsy in, in communicating.

And she-- i- and, and through those sessions where she would sort of support, use physical support, holding their, their hand or wrist and, and pointing to letters or, or, or typing, she began to generate messages that she attributed to the individual that she was supporting.

And convinced that this was a legitimate form of support and that the messages being produced were coming from the individual and, and not, and not herself, she started to use the method with several others at, at the institution and sort of developed a bit of notoriety in Australia.

I- i- in some ways controversy as well, and that's a, a long and fascinating history that I won't, that I won't unpack here.

But in, in, in 1989, a university professor named Douglas Biklen, who was professor at Syracuse, visited Australia and met Rosemary Crossley and observed her using these techniques with people who had disabilities, intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities And was convinced that this was a breakthrough.

So I guess more or less what I'm asking you is that, you know, do you have any final thoughts on this topic that, or, or anything that I should have asked you and haven't thought to regarding facilitated communication, spelling to communicate, et cetera?
