Does any one have resources transalated into widget (communicate and print) that are being used successfully ?

[estymom]

What's a widget?  Can you please translate?

Is this a computer-based resource you are looking for?

[EstherHirsch]

widget is a computer programme that translates the written word into signs and symbols. This we found to be ideal for those students who are unable to read. There are many english stories written in widget on the net. As I was unable to find any Jewish themes I am writing some stories in Widget. If anyone is interested I Have written Yosef Mokir Shabbos and the story of Hillel on the roof. Hatzlocho

Can you post the stories or a link on this site? What program do you use to make these stories? Maybe I will make some, too.

[EstherHirsch]

The program is called Communicate in Print or Boardmaker. I can only send you these stories if you have the programme on your computer.

We have made a series of cards to use with some of our students too. e.g. drink, lunch, quiet etc,

We have found this extremely helpful. Here in U.K it is known as Pecs cards.

I beleive that Boardmaker does have Hebrew art but it has to be selected when the programme is installed.  The Torah Umesorah Educational Resource Center in Brooklyn uses it and they may be able to help you find the material you are looking for.
