For those who are nonverbal, or who struggle to convey their thoughts by the

usual means of speaking or writing, learning to type may be a helpful

alternative. Presenter Char Brandl is a retired special educator who has

been helping people learn to type since 1992. At this free informational

workshop, she will describe the methods she has used to teach individuals

with communication difficulties, share some of the success stories, and give

basic information on the method known as " Facilitated Communication " ---

what it is (and is NOT), the history, and the controversy.
