Low-Tech Picture Exchange is a form of augmentative and alternative communication that uses picture symbols. This is often used by individuals who are non-speaking, and who may have autism and/or other diagnoses that interfere with their expressive communication abilities. The system is also helpful for young children or adults who have lost the ability to communicate verbally or need reminders of various routines.
Typically, Low-Tech Picture Exchange involves printing the picture symbols on small sheets of paper that are laminated and then Velcro is applied to the back so the symbols can stick to a variety of places, depending on how the symbols are being used. (For example, 5 symbols can be attached on a horizontal strip of laminated paper to show the main steps in a child’s bedtime routine.) Produced this way, low-tech symbols are easily damaged and the Velcro often comes off. Using Lego tiles instead of printed, laminated squares of paper would make the picture symbols more durable and the tiles could easily attach to other Lego pieces in countless ways for the various purposes important for the user, and it might just be more fun!
Included in my starter kit would be the most commonly used visual symbols, with the associated word label printed underneath the symbol in an easy-to-read font, printed on 4 by 4 tiles. (More could be purchased.) Also included would be a number of Lego pieces to help the user create boards to serve as backgrounds to put the symbols on (e.g. the visuals to show steps of a bedtime routine, morning routine, the steps in washing one’s hands or getting dressed, a First/Then board, etc.). Like any Lego creation, the possibilities are endless.
Features:
Various printed 4x4 Tiles
various other pieces to build various boards that you would need
Plate pieces with a hole in them to allow you to hang the various boards
Reusable tabs for mounting your created boards to various surfaces
