From what I have read it seems that facilitated communication and the rapid prompting method are scientifically discredited.
So as a young adult with no children, I am curious what OTHER ways exist that aim to teach people who are nonverbal or minimally verbal writing or typing, that are NOT scientifically discredited, and/or ARE scientifically approved?
Also, since to me it would seem that reading usually precedes writing, what are some ways parents and educators teach nonverbal or minimally verbal children to read?
