While "Makayla's Voice: A Letter to the World" is emotionally moving, I can't help but question the legitimacy of the communication method depicted. Facilitated communication (FC) is widely discredited, and I worry the supposed teacher may unintentionally or intentionally influence Makayla's "voice." This raises ethical concerns about exploiting the family's hope and presenting a narrative that lacks scientific backing. While I appreciate the attempt to shed light on the challenges of non-verbal autism, the film risks perpetuating false hope rather than advocating for evidence-based communication methods.
