This group is for people who use Facilitated Communication (FC) for their main way of communicating with the world.

 

The group usually meets on a Saturday at Parents Helping Parents from 1-2:30pm.  Please check the event listing to the right for the next scheduled meeting. We have been meeting together since January 2006.

 

If you are a newcomer to the group, confirmed reservations are required in order to attend. To reserve your space please leave a message with your name and phone number at PHP (408-727-5775). The group facilitator will contact you.

"In the group, we talk about whatever anyone wants to talk about. The conversations are usually interesting and inspiring. I especially enjoy meeting other Facilitated Communication users and talking to them about how their lives are going for them." --Tyler, FC user, Santa Cruz, CA.

 

"I think this group provides the FC users a great way to meet each other and talk and find out more about each other and the struggles. I really feel good during the meeting because only the FC users are talking and the facilitators are mostly quiet. I get a lot out of listening to everyone talk and I like talking. I really want to learn how to use my own voice and turn off the lightwriter voice. I encourage more FC users to come and find out what this group is like. I hope to meet more FC users in the future. I hope we can get more girls to come." --Daniel, FC user, Cupertino, CA.
