Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Joan, We have version 1.4. I don't know how new it is. I don't really know how to use it at all. Marc used it a couple of times, but I have a feeling I'm the one that will be making all of the pics. I also wanted to ask you at the conference, where do you begin. I have so many ideas of what I want to make, I don't know where to begin. I want a schedule for home and I need a schedule for all of his therapies. He is very distracted when we go to therapy. He's also in dance with other disabled children and I think everyone will benefit from a pic schedule too. I haven't sat down and started sooner because it all seems to overwhelming and I don't know where to begin. If you can help me with the instructions that would be great. I'm one of those that likes to know the ins and outs of everything before using it. I also wanted to thank you for taking time to talk to me and Marc at the conference. Any help we can get is greatly appreciated. I called and left a message with the Autism Society in our area on Tues and I still haven't heard back from anyone. How typical. I started playing phone tag with the Autistic Treatment center on Thursday, so hopefully I can get some answers tomorrow. I want to know what an Autistic child typically receives as services and how they are taught in school. I don't want to get burned again in fall and I want to come in prepared. Thanks again, and Marc Tollefson Re: Boardmaker > ! > > I " ll send you the instructions in the book, AFTER you tell me what you're > having the most trouble with.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 Peggy, I haven't figured it out yet. My husband printed out some pics for me, but I would like to do it myself since when I have time is when is at school and not in my hair like he is when hubby's home. I wanted to start with something small, like directions in the morning in the bathroom. I figured out how to put the pics on the " main page " of boardmaker, but I would like to type next to the pic. I also have read from some people on the list that you can download pics and use it with other software. It just frustrates me that there isn't even a help screen. Oh well, any help is appreciated. Thanks, and Marc Tollefson Re: Boardmaker > In a message dated 7/14/2001 1:13:15 PM EST, tollytx@... writes: > > << but I have no idea how to use it to it's potential. >> > I have Boardmaker and using it a lot.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2001 Report Share Posted July 15, 2001 i dont have boardmaker but it sounds neat. I know for nathans schedules having steps on one page didnt work very well, and i remember reading on the dotolearn site i think to have each step on a separate page, so i put them on a ring and make them thick with those foam type stuff you can buy in any color at walmart so he could flip easily. This helped for quite some time and afte rhe started to get most of the steps down, i printed off a big pic of the activity and then on the back a put the basic step reminders eg shower, front is a person in the shower and flip over and it has 1. turn water on with pic symbol, next line is 2. wash body with pic symbol, 3. wash hair-pic symol too, 4. brush teeth, pic symbol (nathan showers before bed so we save time with brushing teeth if in shower) and 5. is turn water off, pic symobl too, then he has a memory card for after shower too, its a big pic on person drying off, and flip over it reminds him to deoderant, lotion, and comb hair, and to get dressed, and he has one for getting dressed too. But remember nathan has learned the general stuff like to rinse off the soap he just now needs the basic reminder word/pic cues. shawna. > Re: Boardmaker > > > Joan, > We have version 1.4.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2002 Report Share Posted January 14, 2002 So does anyone here have the new boardmaker for Windows? (they upgraded their program). I can't get it to print the boards for the life of me. Anyone else having that problem????? I did write them, and their answer was not helpful. It's the only program that gives me trouble with my printer (an inexpensive--if that's really possible, it seemed expensive to me--color laser printer by MInolta). ::::::sigh:::::: j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
