Self Help Cards

[DudleyChildmind]

Does anyone use self help cards?

I have a few but I'd like to know if anyone else uses them and what kind of pictures you have on them please?

Sorry not sure what you mean...?

I've not heard of these. can you describe them please. Thanks.

They are little pictures on a piece of paper about 3" x 3" and they have pictures on them. The ones I have are: Inhaler, toothbrush, apple, banana etc. If a child has trouble communitcating they can just pick up a card and point to it.

I only have a few and that's why I wanted to increase the cards that I have

Thanks for that. I havent had to use them in that way.

I have a set of cards a little bigger than a standard playing card which I got with a childrens CDRom from D.K. years ago. The set has 26 cards with letters on one side and objects on the othe ranging from apple to train etc. I use these with the children in numerous ways.

I have a set of those as well, they are great aren't they

The ones I have also have a picture of a toilet, sad face, poorly face, tissues, a clock (in case they need to know the time) etc.

Is there anything on sparklebox that you could print off & use?

Another word for these are Pecs (Pictoral educational communication system) i think!!you could google this and see what comes up, i know they are used alot in schools with children with poor communication skills.
