    PODD Alternative Access (A4 Version)

    Therapy Box

    Est. $150–$400

    This is a set of templates and guides for building PODD communication books, which are paper-based AAC (communication) books, for people who can't point directly to pictures. It covers 22 book layouts for eye-gaze access, partner-assisted visual scanning, and combinations such as eye-gaze plus scanning or coded access. The pack includes an information file on access methods and vocabulary, a step-by-step construction file, Boardmaker templates, and demonstration videos, all on a USB drive. You supply the Boardmaker 6 software, which is needed to customise and print the templates, so this is a build-it-yourself resource and not a ready-made book. It is intended for professionals and families, and it is sold to UK customers only.

    Pragmatic Organisation

    Est. $150–$350

    This is a set of electronic templates and teaching materials for building PODD communication books, which are paper-style books that a person points to or has a partner point to in order to communicate. It includes templates for 14 book styles, from early books with simple vocabulary to books with expanded, complex sentence structure. It also includes the full PODD book as a PDF, with theory, teaching strategies, vocabulary suggestions, and construction guides. The templates work for direct pointing, partner-assisted scanning, and pick-up-and-show access. You make and print the books yourself, so it's meant for professionals and families who support a child using symbols to communicate. Note that it needs Boardmaker 6, which is sold separately, plus a CD-ROM drive.
