Picture communication can be an answer....
Here's why we developed custom picture communication cards. What we found was that by giving our child a photo of our actual household items and meals he can tell us exactly what he wants - no more guessing. And for any child, nothing can replace the comfort that comes from knowing that your family is meeting your needs. So we developed a complete custom picture communication card system for other families. It includes a choice board, custom photo communication cards, and an optional portable picture communication book. The choice display board is ready to mount on your fridge or wall, and has well spaced Velcro tabs ready for use. The choice cards are laminated kid-sized photos of any item your child uses in everyday life. Each card has a Velcro tab on it that attaches easily to the Velcro tabs on the choice board.The cards used in the portable system don’t use Velcro tabs, but are ‘filed’ in protective pockets in the book. All you have to do is mount your picture communication board on your fridge or wall, ensuring it is at the your child’s viewing height. Whenever your child wants an item, they simply go over to the choice board, and make a choice by pulling off the card and handing it to you. We recommend you support his communication efforts by confirming his choice verbally and praising their efforts. You’ll love their smile of appreciation. We’ve made this system as easy for families as possible. All you have to do is
take a photo
of the actual items your child uses, and send it us. We'll do the rest for you. We'll send you a durable communication card, sized to fit a child's hand, for each photo. If you wish, you can have us add a description of the item right on the photo. This way your child will also become familiar with the written language associated with everyday life as well. We recommend supporting your photo with a verbal description as well. Not only will this allow your child to learn written language, it will also help any supporting people know exactly what to provide. Just let us know in your e-mail or letter what description you’d like for each photo – we’ll add it right to the photo for you. There is no end to the ways you can use your choice cards.
