AB  - Developing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) or Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) for children with severe disabilities is challenging because many educational practitioners lack the background knowledge and skills to assess the communication needs of students and develop appropriate communication-related goals and objectives. One promising method for increasing educational professionals' knowledge and skills are communities of practice, which provide web-based learning and professional development opportunities . The purpose of this study was to examine whether using the online Communication Matrix Suite of tools (training webinar, assessment, custom report, and community) would result in higher quality expressive communication goals and significant growth in expressive communication skills.
