The Pixon Project Kit

The Pixon Project team focused on the use of simple, manual communication boards and single meaning pictures that could be used to build a solid language foundation prior to introduction of robust, personal, speech generating devices. The materials they developed evolved into the Pixon Project Kit.

The Pixon Project Kit includes the following:

Pixon Language and Learning Activity Notebook
The Pixon Language and Learning Activity Notebook (The PLLAN) contains the language development curriculum and a thorough description of all the Pixon Project Kit materials. It is your PLAN for implementing the Pixon Project materials.

Pixon Picture Set CD
The Pixon Picture Set is an exciting new set of single meaning pictures that blend Minspeak® icons with drawing conventions used in other pictures sets (such as PCS pictures.) Over 1800 Pixons are available in BMP and Boardmaker^TM format.

Pixon Manual Communication Boards
The Pixon Project Kit includes 10 pre-designed manual communication boards. Two of the boards are pre-made and can be used out-of-the-box if the design matches the skills and abilities of the person you are supporting. Boards were designed for individuals with a range of sensory and motor-accessing skills, including displays accessible via eye pointing. One of the pre-made boards is in a portable, cloth, carrying case for use with ambulatory individuals. All of the boards can be customized to match the needs of the individual.

Pixon Educational and Environmental Materials
The Pixon Project team developed a sample set of educational and environmental materials designed to support language learning and communication interaction in the classroom and home. Teachers and therapists can simply print out and implement the materials, as needed.
