This group is for people who use Facilitated Communication (FC) for their main way of communicating with the world.

The group usually meets every month on a Saturday at Parents Helping Parents from 1-2:30pm.  The next 2009 meetings will be on October 17 and November 28.  There will be no meeting in December 2009.  We have been meeting together since January 2006. 

If you are a newcomer to the group, confirmed reservations are required in order to attend.  To reserve your space please leave a message with your name and phone number at PHP (408-727-5775.)  The group facilitator will contact you.  

"In the group we talk about whatever anyone wants to talk about.  the conversations are usually interesting and inspiring.  I especially enjoy meeting other Facilitated communication users and talking to them about how their lives are going for them."  --Tyler, FC user, Santa Cruz, CA.

"I think this group provides the FC users a great way to meet each other and talk and find out more about each other and the struggles.  I really feel good during the meeting because only the FC users are talking and the facilitators are mostly quiet.  I get a lot out of listening to everyone talk and I like talking.  I really want to learn how to use my own voice and turn off the lightwriter voice.  I encourage more FC users to come and find out what this group is like.  I hope to meet more FD users in the future.  I hope we can get more girls to come." --Daniel, FC user, Cupertino, CA.
