On this website you will find books that have been adapted using the Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) and the Mayer-Johnson program BoardMaker (c). The Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) are typically used by individuals who have difficulty being understood verbally or have severe difficulty with reading and writing.
If you have your own copy of the book, we have files that allow you to print the symbols that we used to adapt the books. These PCS can be cut out and glued into your own book so that you can read the adapted book again and again to your child or students.
All files with symbols were created using Boardmaker Version 5.0.10 and require you to have that program loaded onto your computer into order to access these files

How It Works
Attach a special sticker to any book page, worksheet, game board, or flash card, scan the sticker with the MiniTR Recorder and begin recording. When you have completed the recording, it is ready for instant playback. Record pages of text, test questions, classroom instructions, or any materials that need to be read back to students. The MiniTR can hold up to 25 minutes of recordings. Each student will be empowered to read along, hear instructions in your own voice, and interact with individualized lessons. Support students who are nonverbal by prerecording words, phrases, and sentences. Then let the student use the MiniTR playback feature as a "voice."
