Communicating by showing

Boards with METACOM symbols help to communicate at playgrounds, in museums, and other public spaces as part of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) measures. By showing instead of talking, communication possibilities are broadened to a lot of kids and adults who have difficulties or are not able to speak or read (that specific language). METACOM symbols are often accompanied by the ABeZeh Sans typeface.

This card game of Autismusverlag (“Autism publishers”) enhances vocabulary and encourages concentration and communication. The cards are illustrated using METACOM symbols accompanied by the ABeZeh Sans typeface. As an additional AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) approach, the cards are provided with an audio code to listen to the words via Anybook Reader. Users can also translate words or put them into context with custom audio content.
