Pic Symbols

Many individuals are taking photos of items to make their pic symbols.  However, if you are looking for some symbols that are ready-made, you may wish to try the Visual Binders that were given out to schools or the Do@Learn website.

Information on Learning and Attention Concerns

The website Understood was suggested by a colleague, Paula Cerven and provides information about learning and attention concerns.  Some topics address school and learning (K-12 and beyond), friends and feelings, parents and family, as well as upcoming community events.
