  Rosemary Crossley, an aide at an institution for people with severe multiple disabilities, encouraged a young woman who had cerebral palsy to communicate by acting as her facilitator (Crossley and MacDonald 1980).
  
  The facilitator normally supports a client's hand, wrist or arm while that person uses a communicator to spell out words, phrases or sentences.
  
  Crossley went on to establish the DEAL Communication Centre in Melbourne in 1986 which aimed to "assist people with no speech or with dysfunctional speech to find alternative means of communication".
  ...
  Many are now communicating ... and producing language of such complexity as to challenge commonly held beliefs about the language of people diagnosed as autistic or significantly intellectually impaired (Crossley and Remington-Gurley 1992).

  Facilitated Communication (FC) was devised by an Australian, Rosemary Crossley, thirty years ago.Rosemary Crossley worked in an institution for people with severe disabilities.She asked a patient who had cerebral palsy to come and live with her and tried to find an alternative to speech in order to communicate with her.She wrote a book entitled "Annie's Coming Out", which is based on their experience.According to Rosemary Crossley, the difficulty that some disabled individuals have with language is not cognitive but due to the fact that they have a problem expressing themselves; as a result their intellectual skills tend to be underestimated but once they are able to communicate they often reveal unexpected understanding and academic skills.She believes that when individuals' communication skills improve they tend to become more confident and independent.She founded the DEAL Communication Centre in 1986.

  In the mid-1980s I began to hear from colleagues in Australia about Rosemary Crossley, the Director of the DEAL Center in Melbourne, who was using a technique she called "Facilitated Communication" (F/C) to elicit writing, usually very sophisticated, highly literate writing, from severely handicapped non-speaking autistic and mentally retarded clients.
  ...
  This is a far cry from the ability to "express his own thoughts in his own words," as originally claimed by Crossley and Biklen.)
