Favorite
Resource Web Sites

 
The following websites are excellent resources for the
  • Level I,  Form 5A-D instructional activities using picture symbols
  • Level II, Form 3A-D instructional activities.
 Primarily for Level I below:
 

1.

 http://www.tinsnips.org
    This site is one of my favorites.  It has picture recipes, holiday activities, schedule pictures, worksheets for reading labels and cooking measurements, and many links to other great sites.
     
  2.  http://trainland.tripod.com/pecs.htm
    This site has many picture symbols including Boardmaker downloads and PECS symbols.  It also has a link to photos of common brand name grocery items.
     
  3. http://www.bry-backmanor.org/
    Lots and lots of picture recipes.
     
  4. http://www.google.com
    This is a search engine.  When this page comes up, there will be choices above the keyword search space.  Click on Images. Another page will come up with a keyword search space.  Type in a word for a picture you want (e.g. hamburger) and several pages of various pictures of hamburgers will come up.  Yes, there are that many different types of hamburgers.  Select the picture you want.  Right-click and copy and paste to a Word document.  Resize as needed for the student.  Add text.
