ndividuals with special needs who are non-verbal or who do not consistently express their wants and needs via verbal communication must have an alternative method to do so. Visual tools such as picture cards can provide individuals who are non-verbal with a way to express themselves. In some cases, a picture-based communication system can ultimately serve as the bridge to verbal communication.
Methods of using pictures include schedules to organize activities, strips to tell a story, and individual cards exchanged with another person as a form of visual talking.
