Say It With Symbols!

Good Day RettGirls!

This week at RettGirl.org we are featuring the website Say it With Symbols from the folks at Givinggreetings.com

You can find this incredible resource in our Websites and School Stuff!

This site actually came to our attention from a father of a nonverbal child who is currently working on branching out to help all nonverbal people - children and adults.

Say it with Symbols is a website full of products, symbols, tips and free stuff for nonverbal communicators.

I spent hours looking through everything they have and I don't think I touched on half of it.

We are pretty sure you can find just about anything here to help your girl express herself. I know many of you MORE CRAFTIER THAN I parents and caregivers spend hours trying to come up with books, gadgets and pages to help your girls at home, in the classroom and on the go. I am serious when I say, "It's all here. Right at your fingertips!"
