Some Great Resources
No one knows it all and one of the great advantages and pleasures of easy communications is the ability to share what you know with others. There are some great websites out there with a host of good information, so we use this space to share them with you.

using powerpoint for Aac
This is a really good youtube video showing how PowerPoint can be used as a basic but still very useful AAC tools. Great for those just getting into the AAC field who dont really understand the AAC software out there and who dont have time to learn how to use new software. This video from Bridge College in Stockport really shows how PowerPoint is an incredibly useful tool for AAC activities

Speechbubble
Good site from the ACE centre in the UK. Main purpose is to provide a short review of a vast range of commercial AAC products, saving much internet search time when shopping around for suitable AAC devices. Also a good introduction to AAC devices and why one needs them.
