Methods and Tools to Support
Evidence-Based Clinical Practice

These papers document work done on methods and tools to support AAC evidence-based practice. They are organized in reference format, first by year in reverse chronological order and then alphabetical by first author. Click on titles to read abstracts. Abstract pages provide access to papers and slides when available. Many papers are on early work that may represent historical evolution of this field more than current state of the science. Some papers covering the development or evaluation of tools that are available for use in clinical practice have links to those tools.
