PrAACtical Resources: Communication Supports Inventory for Children and Youth
A- A+

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 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,
