I'm just learning about all this. Can you clarify what's different about facilitated communication and what is described in the article? The article describes the technique as "supported typing," which is a synonym for facilities communication according to a reference in the Wikipedia article.

The technique described in the article also seems to align with one of the descriptions of facilited communication included in the Wikipedia article:

In some cases, patients learn to give specific responses to cues from the facilitator, such as in cases where the facilitator only touches their shoulder or does not touch the patient at all.
