Abstract	Facilitated Communication (FC) has ever since been a controversial subject of discussion. But scientific research on the method declined over the years. Nevertheless, recent publication activities are bringing the topic back on the agenda. The goal of the presented study is to identify published studies dealing with FC and to analyze taken research approaches towards the method and their longitudinal development. Therefore, a content analysis of 90 publications was carried out. Results show prevailing but over time varying approaches towards FC. Within dominant strategies (e.g. validation using message passing) certain aspects (e.g. facilitated use of pictorial symbols) are often not examined. Furthermore, we have identified only few studies focusing on prevalence. Based on our outcomes, possible implications for future research are discussed. (Orig.).
