Assessed the source of messages produced through facilitated communication with a youth with autism and severe mental retardation using message-passing and picture-naming procedures. Results indicated that the facilitator was the source of the communications produced during the assessment; correct responding occurred only when the facilitator had knowledge of the correct answer. These findings are consistent with the results of other research demonstrating cuing, influence, or control of facilitated communications by the individuals providing assistance (facilitators). Implications for ethical practices by professionals in the context of facilitated communications are briefly discussed.
通过消息传递和图片命名程序，评估了与一名患有自闭症和严重智力障碍的青少年进行辅助沟通时所产生信息的来源。结果表明，评估过程中产生的沟通信息来源是辅助者；只有当辅助者知道正确答案时才会出现正确回应。这些发现与其他研究结果一致，其他研究表明提供协助的人员（辅助者）对辅助沟通存在暗示、影响或控制。文中简要讨论了专业人员在辅助沟通背景下道德行为的影响。
