Kids with autism may communicate differently and use a different way to express themselves. Assistive technology can help break down communication barriers. Tangible Object Cards pair a vocabulary word with a meaningful object securely fastened to the card. This device can also be helpful for teachers to help students communicate better using objects.
Tangible Object Cards come in a Core set of 20 cards, as well as six supplemental sets that come with 5 cards each. Supplemental allow for customization to meet specific needs. The cards come with a blank symbol card so you can customize them to whatever communication symbol or picture that is needed most.Each card has an object with intrinsic value, making cause-effect easier to teach, as well as maintain general interest. Tangible Object Cards were also designed with blind/low vision needs in mind. Objects are easy to recognize and discriminate for the early learner.You can find more information about this assistive technology device at EnableMart.com.
