Communication Rights

The right to communicate is both a basic human right and the means by which all other rights are realized. All people communicate. No person should have this right denied because they have been diagnosed as having a particular disability. Access to effective means of communication is a free speech issue.

Breaking The Barriers is a national effort supported by TASH that is focused on ensuring the right to communicate for people with disabilities.

Among the research articles emphasis is given to those studies in which facilitated communication users were able to confirm their communicative competence with the method; also included are several often cited studies in which researchers were unable to confirm the effectiveness of facilitation.
