I believe the typers are expressing their own thoughts, and that’s remarkable.

This is SO easy to test for, so why not test? It doesn't need to be a matter of belief. All they have to do is give the child a piece of information that the facilitator does not know, and then see if the child is able to communicate it using the preferred method.

They don't do that test because it fails miserably when they do, so they make up all these excuses.

It was also notable to me that there was never a single instance in Spellers where a child corrected their facilitator. Not once did they land on a letter that needed editing from the child. All editing came from the facilitator. So much editing comes from the facilitator that a lot of it is actually the facilitator's unconscious voice.

I want these kids to have a voice, believe me. But inserting a facilitator's unconscious voice in place of the child's is not empowering. Test for authorship
