by PrAACtical AAC
PrAACtical AAC was co-founded by Dr. Carole Zangari with the mission of bridging the gap between AAC research and everyday practice. It has become one of the most widely referenced free AAC resources for clinicians and families in the United States and internationally, hosting thousands of articles across its archive.
The site publishes regular posts covering core vocabulary instruction, AAC implementation strategies, device-specific guidance, and reviews of new tools and apps. Topics span tips for parents, inclusive classroom strategies, low-tech communication options, and summaries of current AAC research. Downloadable communication boards, activity sets, and practitioner guides are frequently shared free of charge.
PrAACtical AAC is aimed at the professionals, educators, and family members who support nonspeaking individuals of all ages and diagnoses. It is particularly valuable for those new to AAC, those working in under-resourced settings without specialist support, and experienced practitioners seeking research-grounded strategies across diverse communication profiles.
