Students with developmental disabilities may require very simple symbols to express basic needs. These individuals frequently have difficulty responding to pictures that include too many lines and too many details. The Library of International Picture Symbols (LIPS) has grown in popularity in recent years because it includes thousands of easy-to-identify symbols that can be adapted easily for use in different cultures. In addition to including foods and items that are commonly used in the United States, the symbol system includes items relevant to the experiences of people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Taiwan, Japan, and others countries are using the symbols to create communication boards and overlays for augmentative communication devices. The Book of Picture Symbols for Everyday Communication, published by Academic Communication Associates, features thousands of the most widely used LIPS symbols. This book is helpful in designing instructional activities and communication boards for students who use augmentative/alternative modes of communication such as AAC devices. Because of their bilingual/multicultural emphasis, Academic Communication Associates in now using this system in selected products for individuals with special needs. Popular books using these symbols include the following: Bilingual Picture Symbol Communication Resource Book of Picture Symbols for Everyday Communication Communication Board Activities for Special Learners Picture Symbol Language Activity Book Picture Symbol Stories for Special Learners Software programs using these symbols are also available. When software programs are used, communication boards can be created quickly for students with a variety of needs. The Picture Master program includes over 18,000 images and is described at the following link: View Picture Master program information For additional information about augmentative communication books and software products, click here.
