Blossy do you want me to make you a visual time table....I have all the stuff here.....can make it up for you really quickly....have the laminator...piccies etc.

Cam make you one like the one they use at BIBIC....one for home and one for school....let me know. Will do it for cost and P&P.

We use it daily here at home for J....really helps a lot.

Ah thanks
The piccies are laminated already and they have so kindly said that as they have the facilities will print off any that I want and send them off.
They have even said I can have an outreach appt if I want!!!!

Well if they are already laminated you only need to get the velcro to stick on the back....you can get that from Woolies....called something like ??sticky fixers?? Get a big piece of strong card....cover it in a pretty material....then put the velcro fasteners in place on the board...attach the other piece of vecro on to the laminated piccioe and voila you have a visual time table.

What sort of pics are they? Are they Meyer Johnson Boardmaker or digital photos or something else? Have you decided whether to go top to bottom (like a shopping list) or left to right (like reading a book)????? Have you looked at PECs website for handy resources, even if you're not using their pics?

Sorry I don't know if this will be of any use for you, but I sometimes use a felt board for DD's SALT work. Really cheap corkboard from homebase cover with felt, just glued with PVA. Stick velcro only needed on the laminated pieces so you can move thing around as you need to.

Sorry if this isn't what you need, just thought it worth mentioning!

Good luck with it anyway BH!

you can even go on for example the argos website and right click on any picture and save it as My Picture...so you can then print off EXACTLY the toy etc that she uses.... applies many websites- some are copy right.

tom got me loads by googling 'images' instead of usual web searches...type in 'clothes' and you get loads of clothes....etc
