Communication - Some of our experience

Mike and his mom working with pictures and symbols to write a letter
Mike working on a story, assisted by his mother.

Movies and Slide Shows		It started with an assignment in a class and it has continued. Mike actively participates. Everyone is having fun!
Symbolized Story		About our visit to a cave. (Press forward in the upper right corner to continue to the next page.)
Symbols and Technology		Symbols are part of a communication system for our son. The system also incorporates the use of pictures, sign language and technology.
Going on a Plane Trip		A symbolized story with images related to airport security is available for download. Ideas are provided on how we have used it.
Ideas		We do a variety of things to facilitate communication for our son. Some of the ideas have been contributed by him.
Family History Book		The book provides our son with a family tree with pictures and includes stories about the family. The stories incorporate text with symbols and scanned photographs.
Tips		Our son enjoys working independently on his system with Writing with Symbols. By using icons on his desktop he can! Our son prefers to no longer carry a communication device, yet printouts can be useful. The Tips page provides the steps.
Other Tips		We found a one-button Mac mouse that will work on our PC!
