Despite the pushback she got on her earlier FC-puff piece, Lenore Skenazy @FreeRangeKids gets it terribly wrong *again.*. This time there’s no excuse, and you have to wonder what’s really going on. nydailynews.com/2026/05/17/let…

@ASHAOwesMeMoney You are sharing screen clips from a private group where rules are in place strictly prohibiting it. The rules that you agreed to in order to be a member of the group. People share their questions and experiences expecting group rules are followed. Very unethical.

[Narrator] Please don’t assume that every word I speak is what I intend to say. Making sounds with your mouth isn’t the same thing as communication. [Emma] Let’s go home please. No more. Yeah. That's it. That's it. That's it. No more! No more. [Mom] We could finally let each other know how we felt. youtube.com/watch?v=1_X8ZD…

@sidn1971 @DrJerroldCoe @HBurroughs8319 @FreeRangeKids Lived experience tells us that lived experience is an unreliable standard for anything. Eye tracking shows where people look, not what words they understand or intend to spell. Also, Jaswal’s “spellers” were above chance but far from consistent & not compared to a control group.

@DrJerroldCoe @sidn1971 @HBurroughs8319 @FreeRangeKids Eventually, many slowly and quietly abandon it. The illusion is too hard to sustain over time. But so is fully confronting the illusion and going public. Easiest just to retreat, as happens ultimately with each next generation. Older RPMers are hard to find. Even Tito these days.

@sidn1971 @HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids Reject or accept them, but message passing tests are held as the standard. Spelling/FC cannot pass them, for better or worse. Some have reasons (or excuses) why this is, but we can't act like the standards aren't clear.

@DrJerroldCoe @HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids I cant speak for SOMA but I think there is no amount of testing that will satisfy the entrenched ASHA folks. There is a growing body of evidence plus the complete transformation in the lived experience that cant be ignored. My daughter aquired her ability to type thru S2C....

@sidn1971 @HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids I ask you have you ever talked to a family ruined by this "miracle cure?" The claim of living in the past is not borne out - Soma of RPM for ex. forbids modern testing, while many modern court cases are scuttled by proponents due to the "threat" of testing ...

@ASHAOwesMeMoney @HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids You are talking about real people whose lives have drastically improved after communication opened up. That is far more evidence than families need. You are living in the past conflating new methods to 30 years ago. That is the point of the article that you seem triggered by.

@HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids I wonder why people would rather avoid testing than conduct it? We aren't protecting nonspeakers by unwittingly forcing a discredited mode of communication that has never demonstrated authorship. Proponents got this wrong. They have ignored the history and lessons from the 90s.

@HBurroughs8319 @AltB56073878 @FreeRangeKids "1000s now type independently," according to whose definition? We're told (for example) that Woody Brown can totally type independently, but for some reason we're given random strings of letters in the Today interview, as his mother calls out completely different letters ...

@EMPIREREPORTNY This is a great Op-Ed, anyone who has ever cared for a non speaker or unreliable speaker knows that nearly all dysregulation and frustration Is due to lack of meaningful communication. Those that oppose methods that work are living in theoretical land and not real life.
