Personal+Communication+Book

The personal communication book is an electronic book designed to help students with autism who struggle to communicate verbally with parents, teachers, and other students. The book is designed to help students with autism communicate in a non verbal way by translating words into pictures using the personal communications book. For children with autism, visual aids are critical to their learning process and retention of that learned material, this electronic book assists with this process.

The communications book is easy to use for teachers and aids as it uses a series of symbols to help students with autism communicate. The pages of the book utilize a series of picture symbols for teachers to quickly scan and check off so they know what the students is trying to communicate. The book allows teachers to communicate with the child's parents as they can write in the book about the students mood, and other comments.Thus, the parents feel more involved and connected to their child's schooling.

As a teacher the personal communication book is a great resource to help students with autism communicate in a non verbal way. I would use this book for students with autisim at a younger age from 3-9 years old. The pictures are quite simple and wouldn't suffice for older students as it wouldn't be appropriate.
