Picture Communication - Help students with Autism communicate.
Overview
Imagine being a child without the ability to communicate your most basic wants and needs. This is a daily struggle for children with Autism. As a speech pathologist, I work in an inner city Boston School with children with Autism. I provide students with the communication tools necessary to interact and function in school. Every student requires some sort of visual to help them communicate. Some need low tech communication notebooks with pictures of items and actions they may require throughout their day. Others need pictures which help them to speak in complete sentences. Some of my students require a computer equipped with dynamic interactive screens to enhance their communication skills. All of my students require videos and pictures to help them understand the world around them. These communication aids require time to create, but most importantly they require equipment, materials and supplies unaffordable in my school.
