Introduction to Facilitated Communication/Supported Typing Facilitator Training Encore, January 20, 2018
Saved By Typing will be hosting an encore presentation of the first of our 8-part series of Facilitated Communication (FC) training programs, an Introduction to Facilitated Communication/Supported Typing Training Workshop, on Saturday January 20, 2018, from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM.
“Introduction” training gets you ready to explore the method, but trying it and practicing helps gain confidence to be a good facilitator and know what you are doing. Follow up with a trainer and seek training, networking with other families. To gain confidence, you must be able to do the following:
- Understand the basics of support and be able to apply those principles to working with your child/student.
- Shift your role as you get beyond the basics.

Registration Information
This training is open to new and current facilitators, those interested in becoming a facilitator, or anyone interested in learning more about FC. The cost to attend the training workshop is $95/person for the full day of training. There is no cost for any typer that would like to attend the afternoon session only.
NOTE: If you plan to apply for a Medicaid Waiver to cover the cost of this training, you should register at least 30 days prior to the training. Use the Pay By Check option, which REQUIRES NO UPFRONT PAYMENT. We will send you an invoice to submit to your case manager.
If you preregister for all the training workshops you want to attend, we will send you all the invoices you will need to submit, which will give your case manager time to arrange for funds and get the waivers approved.
About FCAR
FCAR is a medicaid waiver service available on the CIH and Family Supports Waivers. Families must have a Medicaid waiver in order to use FCAR.
There are several providers for this service. Families who want to utilize a waiver service should contact their case managers first and will need to select a provider from a pick list. Families have to add FCAR funds to their waiver budget, which must be submitted to and approved by the state prior to receiving any payments. We recommend that you contact your case manager at least 30 days before an event to start the process.
If less than 30 days prior to the training date, you will still be able to register online and pay by credit/debit card or with the "Pay By Check" option. We will send you an invoice to submit to your case manager. However, depending on which waiver service provider you use, we cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed if you submit an invoice after the event date.
In this case, you will be responsible to pay the registration fees at the start of the training, unless prior alternative arrangements are made.
To make alternative payment arrangements, or for more information regarding the workshop, contact Saved By Typing by phone (317-843-5566) or by email: info@savedbytyping.com.
