The Anne McDonald Centre, a centre for facilitated communication use in Melbourne directed by Rosemary Crossley.

Anne McDonald (11 January 1961 – 22 October 2010) was a nonverbal Australian woman with cerebral palsy and severe intellectual disability who was one of the first subjects of the scientifically discredited facilitated communication (FC) technique. McDonald was credited as an author and activist despite not having a legitimate means of communication. The Anne McDonald Centre, which promotes the use of facilitated communication, is named after her.[1]
