"The Communication Supports Inventory- Children & Youth (CSI-CY) is a tool to help professionals working with students with complex communication needs make educational plans that are comprehensive enough to capture their strengths and restrictions. The  CSI-CY is designed to make goal writing easier for teachers and speech-language pathologists who work with students who are augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users or potential users. By itself, it is not an assessment, but rather a guide to organize the professional's understanding of the impact of a student's communication strengths and limitations on their participation at school and home. The Inventory consists of a survey and a report. The World Health Organization developed the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICF-CY) in 2007 to provide a global common language for describing the impact of health conditions and disabilities on human functioning. This Inventory uses that same global common language. It utilizes the broad perspective on function and disability of the ICF-CY to characterize students who use AAC."

"Welcome to the NCSC Communication Tool Kit. This series of modules was developed solely for use in the professional development of teachers and speech language pathologists. We would like to thank the teachers and families of students for granting permission to use instructional video clips for professional development purposes. As such, the video clips remain integrated into the modules and access is monitored."

"The National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC) is a project led by five centers and 24 states, building an alternate assessment based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS) for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. The shared goal of the NCSC partners is to ensure that students with the most significant cognitive disabilities achieve increasingly higher academic outcomes and leave high school ready for post-secondary options. The wiki and the materials hosted here help educators accomplish the NCSC goals by supporting instruction aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The materials on the wiki can also be used in states that are not using the CCSS. Much of the content that is covered on the wiki will also appear in other Mathematics and English Language Arts state standards. "

Join the campaign group (members-only) to promote life-long communication for all!"

"Did you know Windows has had Speech Recognition built-in since Windows Vista? This is more than just a way to type by speaking aloud - you can use it to control applications and navigate the desktop with your voice. It's a free, built-in alternative to paid voice dictation programs like Dragon NaturallySpeaking. It's a shame most Windows users will likely never find it buried in the Control Panel."

"Windows Speech Recognition lets you control your PC by voice alone, without needing a keyboard or mouse. The following tables list commands that you can use with Speech Recognition. If a word or phrase is bold, it's an example. Replace it with similar words to get the result you want. For info on how to set up Speech Recognition for the first time, see Use speech recognition."
