AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS:
Auditory Integration Training and Facilitated Communication for
Autism
This statement reviews the basis for two new
therapies for autism
auditory integration training and facilitative
communication. Both therapies seek to improve communication skills.
Currently available information does not support the claims of
proponents that these treatments are efficacious. Their use does not
appear warranted at this time, except within research protocols.
Statement of reaffirmation:
