Info:

Karen started to understand the importance of Widgit symbols as a communication tool when her son, who has severe autism, began using them. As a language teacher, she was really interested in learning how to use the software to produce resources to support her family.

She began to offer training and support to families, schools, local service providers in the community and to create a range of resources to help others. Karen states that, ‘Symbols are a great tool, not only for children with additional needs, but they can also be implemented very successfully in a mainstream setting.’
