Boardmaker

I’ve used this software and thought I’d let people know about it! Boardmaker is a communication tool. You have access to various pictures (as well as importing your own from digital cameras etc) which allow you to make communication between the teacher and student clear! An example might be to create a daily schedule for a student who is Autistic. The pictures and words mean that the student will be aware of what they will be doing throughout the day.
This software is also useful in mainstream classrooms – to create sight words, visual signs for the classroom, worksheets etc. A handy software program that is user-friendly and yet so helpful for students with special needs.
