Develop print materials based on Picture Communication Symbols
Picture it.
Boardmaker v. 6 software is the ideal tool for creating customized print materials featuring symbols and images. A graphics database combined with a drawing program, Boardmaker v. 6 features more than 4,500 Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) in 44 languages, all in both color and black-and-white.
Enhance learning and communication.
Create all kinds of print materials to reinforce your educational and communication activities. Here are just a few ideas:
- Communication displays for AAC users
- Worksheets and flash cards for English language learners
- Visual schedules and social skills stories for children with autism spectrum disorders
- Books and symbol-supported literacy activities for beginning and pre-readers
- Song and story boards for preschoolers
- General educational and functional living skills materials for special education students
Couldn’t be easier.
Boardmaker software makes it incredibly easy to create print materials. Open a template (there are scores to pick from) or create your own board. Choose symbols and languages. Modify the text if you wish. Or use the Symbolate button feature to quickly add symbols to text: start typing or copy and paste a block of text and matching symbols are automatically filled in. When you’re done, print and use your customized materials.
Customize and create.
Add your own specially chosen symbols, digital images, or other graphics to Boardmaker’s symbol library. Import images from the Internet or other image collections. You can also combine elements from different PCS to create your own symbols. Use the existing button shapes or draw freeform buttons of any shape. You’ll be amazed at what you can create.
