Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I wrote previously about Writing with Symbols, 2000. This is a British program which is licensed in the US to Mayer-. I think this is a wonderful, easy to sue program. One of the things I like best about it is being able to customize signs from simple stick drawings to actual photographs. For example, we use the symbol of a boy using black hair, dark skin only when we are writing in the thrid person, referring to our son Elie. He knows his picture sign as well as being able to read his name. We use an actuall picture of our house for home.
