In my area it is used in conjunction with the Edmark program, Laurette and the Early Reading Intervention program. We also use it for communication, and as a method to aide with some hearing children who have stuttering issues, as they can learn to slow down their speech. We have found that it is successful with some children who have Autism and Down Syndrome, sometimes with PECS or not, depending on the needs of the child.

The sky is the limit!


My school just started using the Edmark program since Fall..oh WOW! It is so exciting!
