Large set of picture symbols on an A3 sheet, plus a set of game cards - containing between six and nine items on each card.
You can use this with a small group of children - or a single child.
- Put the large sheet in front of the children.
- Give each child a small card and a set of counters.
- The children take it in turns to look for one of the items on their card on the large sheet.
- Once they have found the item, they put a counter on the item on their card.
- When it's their turn, the child can ask another child for help (but the other children should be encouraged to keep silent unless they have been asked for help).
- Carry on until each child has found (say) four items.

Encouraging eye gaze communication (no tech)
Helping a child to use/begin to use an eye gazing to communicate choices or an action they would like you to do - with pictures and (optionally) a perspex eye gaze frame (i.e. sheet of clear plastic you hold up between you and the child to fix communication pictures on).
Encouraging looking at an appropriate picture
In this situation you know what the child wants - e.g. they want the mirror chimes, or they want you to spin them, but they are not looking at the appropriate picture or picture symbol. This can happen if the child is new to this communication method, or you've put pictures in a different position on the frame in front of the child, or you are presenting new picture symbols.
