Great Resources for Symbol Users

Most of us have supported symbol users with the use of Boardmaker® products for years now and if you have cruised websites for free symbol downloads and new products you might have come across Widget software, www.widget.com. There are plenty of products to purchase here such as Writing with Symbols, a word and symbol processor, and Communicate: In Print 2, a symbol creating program using new Widget Rebus Symbols. You will love the free downloads on this site and links to other resources. Free downloads include beautifully illustrated stories using words and symbols for easy reading. While you are browsing the site, check out Communicate: Webwide, a web browser that allows the user to view web pages with symbols. If you are working with older students try out eLive, a symbol based monthly magazine that includes games, trivia and news! Where else can you find text and symbol supported versions of health related educational materials such as Diabetes Symbol Resources? If you are supporting symbol users, visit this site for free downloads and creative teaching ideas!
