Should we have a code of ethics...

For almost two decades the Institute on Communication and Inclusion has been giving a voice and a means to communicate to people with disabilities who may have otherwise been living in silence or isolation. The Institute on Communication and Inclusion (ICI) conducts research and promotes support for people with disabilities to communicate in schools and society. Formerly, the Facilitated Communication Institute, the new name, the Institute on Communication and Inclusion , represents a broadened focus developed over the past 20 years, reflecting lines of research, training and public dissemination that focus on school and community inclusion, narratives of disability and ability, and disability rights. Its initiatives stress the important relationship of communication to inclusion. Save the Date for the 2013 Summer Institute: Connection, Communication, and Creativity
In 2011 DEAL Communication Centre was renamed the Anne McDonald Centre, and its website was relaunched as www.annemcdonaldcentre.org.au. What the Anne McDonald Centre does The Anne McDonald Centre provides assessment and therapy for people -- any age, any diagnosis --with little or no functional speech. If clients' speech needs augmentation, we find communication aids they can use. Then we teach these clients and their support teams how to use their new voices.
