Boost reading and writing skills for kids who use AAC
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a special teaching program can help children who use AAC devices to improve their reading and spelling. It's designed for kids ages 5-12 who already use some symbols and letters but need extra help with reading words.

This study tests if online video training for teachers can improve reading skills in children who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), like picture boards or speech-generating devices. It's for children with intellectual disabilities who have their own education plan and need AAC to communicate.
This study teaches caregivers, teachers, and other communication partners how to use low-tech communication tools (like picture boards) to help children with autism who are minimally or non-verbal. The goal is to improve how these children communicate and interact with others.
This study tests a program to improve phonological awareness (the ability to hear and use sounds in words) in pre-K and kindergarten children who are behind their peers. It aims to help them become better readers and spellers.
This study helps parents use simple learning activities at home to boost their child's language skills. If your child is getting speech therapy (or waiting for it) and has trouble with words, this program might be a good fit.
