Features and Benefits

The following symbol libraries are available:


Widgit Symbols

The Widgit Symbol Set is organized into clear and simple categories and sub categories, for ease of reference and location. The symbols conform to a clear schematic structure to help learners develop their vocabulary independently.

The vocabulary illustrated by Widgit Symbols covers an extensive range of topics, including a wide range of curriculum areas such as Science and Math.

By adding Widgit Symbols to Clicker activities, you can offer a ‘helping hand’ to students who may struggle with text, by providing a visual representation of all the concepts illustrated by the words within text in the form of a ‘symbol language’. This visual aid, along with the aural support provided by the synthesized speech feature, provides valuable reassurance to students for any words they are unsure of.



Mayer-Johnson PCS

Developed over 25 years, the set comprises over 7,000 color symbols designed to represent words and short phrases to support children and adults with communication challenges.

The symbols are clear and esthetically pleasing to motivate learners as they use them. In many cases, there are alternative symbols available for certain words, allowing you to tailor the set to a particular student


SymbolStix

Originally designed and developed by News-2-You, Inc for use in its internet newspaper and online curriculum, SymbolStix depicts activities and people as lively, vibrant stick figures, drawn with a distinctive flair to create “stick figures with an attitude”. The set consists of approximately 11,000 symbols.

SymbolStix symbols depict generic persons as stick people with no gender, age, or culturally specific attributes to ensure that learners focus on the concepts portrayed rather than being distracted or confused by detail.

This appealing set also includes a range of culturally-significant images such as politicians, athletes, actors, historical figures, and popular fictional characters.
