PrAACtical Resources: Communication Supports Inventory for Children and Youth
As AAC practitioners well know, children who use some form of augmentative communication need a wide array of supports in order to be successful. In this post, we share a useful tool to systematically gather information about those supports to help teams with educational planning.
Developed by Drs. Charity Rowland and Melanie Fried-Oken and Ms. Sandra Steiner, The Communication Supports Inventory – Children & Youth (CSI-CY) is designed to make goal writing easier for teachers and SLPs who work with students who have AAC needs. It is a wonderful way to build collaboration and get the team pointed in the same direction.
Learn more about the CSI- CY here. You can access it online or download it for a hard copy.

Hi Carole,
I am trying to find the CSI-CY and none of the links are working. Any suggestions? Could you please send me an electronic copy?
thank you,
Janet Good
Janet, it looks like they have taken it down. I will reach out to them and update this when I hear back from them. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi Carole,
I noticed that the CSI-CY is no longer available at that link. Do you know if there are any alternative ways to access it?
Thank you,
Michelle
Michelle, I haven’t been able to locate any alternate paths so far. I’ll reach out to them and try to find out what’s going on with this.
