Visual Communication for ASD: 162 Laminate Icon Picture Cards

💪 Durability and Resilience: The large cards, measuring 2x2 inches, are crafted from a 5mil hot laminated sheet atop 110lb cardstock paper. This design makes them not only durable but also reusable, making them a practical choice for repeated use. Teachers, parents, caregivers, and therapists widely utilize these laminated cards across homes, schools, and centers.

📚 Evidence-Based Communication Tool: The primary objective of these communication photo cards is to equip children on the spectrum with quick, self-initiated, and functional communication skills. The system starts with the exchange of simple icons and progressively develops into more complex sentence structures. For instance, a child might express preferences with phrases like "I want apple," "I see park," or "I hear train."

📖 Ready for Immediate Use: Each kit arrives pre-organized, eliminating the need for printing, cutting, or lamination. Conveniently packaged in its unique storage box, the kit includes eight essential categories: food (30 cards), toys (31 cards), school (15 cards), places (15 cards), home activities (15 cards), signs (15 cards), emotions (15 cards), and actions (15 cards). Each card is meticulously handcrafted to the 2x2 inch standard size used in educational settings, with rounded corners for safety, preventing scratches or poking by little hands.

✔️ Organized and Systematic: The binder features five sturdy 10mil poly dividers, each color-coded for easy access and reference. All 150 picture cards are secured with three durable Velcro strips on each divider, allowing for efficient organization of 30 cards on each side. The binder also includes two pockets for additional loose materials and measures 11x8.5 inches, making it portable enough to fit in a child’s backpack or to carry by hand.

💖 Comprehensive Bundle: This complete set encompasses a storage/gift box, a robust binder, 150 colorful photo cards, a removable sentence strip, five divider tabs, and a straightforward pamphlet detailing the six steps of the PCS (Picture Communication System). Additionally, it comes with six extra cards to enrich your child's language and cognitive abilities—these include prompts such as "I see," "I feel," "I hear," "I smell," "I touch," and "It is." Moreover, it includes five blank cards for personalized customization, along with a bonus card as an incentive.

💡 Versatile Applications: Beyond facilitating communication, these cards have diverse applications such as labeling, sorting, and identifying. However, their primary function remains serving as a visual support system to foster quick, self-initiated, and functional communication skills among children. Starting with simple icons, the system encourages children to quickly form sentences like "I want apple," "I see park," and "I hear train."

📖 Specifications of the Book and Cards: The binder is designed with convenience in mind, featuring two interior pockets for loose materials. Available in black, it measures 9x7.5 inches, making it easy to transport in a child’s backpack or carry. The binder is complemented by five distinct colorful 10mil poly dividers and three hard Velcro strips on each side to hold 30 cards securely. Each photo card, measuring 1.5x1.5 inches, is affixed with a 1/2-inch soft dot on a rounded corner for safety, ensuring they are child-friendly while preventing any risk of scratches or pokes.
