Reducing the Risk: Safety Strategies for People who use AAC
http://www.accpc.ca/reducingtherisk.htm
Reducing the Risk is a project born out of the needs expressed by augmented communicators for more information and tools to enhance safety. The project explores the need to inform members of the general community about the specific and special risks faced by people with complex communication needs. Extensive resource information is available.

This new site provides an "online community for sharing instructional videos." The site hosts videos that are appropriate for educational purposes. You may use the videos in your instruction as well as post your own videos of lessons and ideas. I found this through the e-newsletter: http://discoveryschools.com/schrockguide/sos.html
