Picture-Based Communication Aids
• Many kids who have language
disorders respond well to
picture-based aids

children so they can point to
choices when they can’t say
the words
• Picture cards are used to “prep”
kids for transitions into new
environments and situations to
reduce anxiety and provide order
and predictability which improves
behavior and cooperation
