AAC Websites
PrAACticalAAC blog
by Carole Zangari
The blog shares information about implementing AAC strategies, provides resources, and discusses news of interest to the AAC community. Carole Zangari, a professor and SLP, oversees the blog and regularly contributes content. The posts are created in a very user-friendly format and with accessible language. A rich tagging system makes it easy to find entries on any topic related to AAC. Most entries include multiple links to additional information. There is a new post daily, a video of the week, and a weekly Link Up post of community entries.

The AAC Coach

The AAC Coach website includes over 100 engaging, graphic documents, each with a specific focus related to good AAC practices. The 1-page documents can be posted as a reminder for adults, shared with team members as part of learning about AAC, or used as a guide to instruction and intervention. Sign in is required to access the free resources, which are added to regularly. Some of the materials are also available in Spanish.
