I hope you don't mind me posting on your forum. I'm an undergraduate student, undertaking my final project for my visual communication degree (graphic design). I'm hoping to design some sort of interactive learning aid for children who find it easier to communicate with symbols & other imagery. I've been reading through the forums & have spotted many threads about trying to find images for use with this sort of thing. My question: If you were to have the PERFECT resource site to use with your child, what would it have on it? I'm hoping to design something that's really visually appealing (for both you and your little one. If it sounds like something you might be interested in, I might even upload it to the web when my degree finishes this summer. I'd love to hear your opinions! Thanks T

Thanks for the welcome Kathryn! I'll take your advice. It'd be great to get many opinions on this! T

Hi baddad! Thanks so much for getting back to me. Glad to hear you're feeling inspired. Yes, it would certainly be free as it's all academic research for me currently! Backgrounds & Editable templates are excellent ideas. The more I'm researching, the more important customisation seems to be. Each child really is entirely unique with regards to what works for them! I was also thinking that photo/symbol alternatives could be an option. I'll take a look into 'social stories', I haven't looked at this in great detail. However this might be similar to 'routines' such as getting up in the morning, dressing, brushing teeth etc. Thanks again & enjoy getting creative with your own social stories T
