- Uses the same symbols as the Boardmaker (TM) software. These are the images that most schools and facilities use on a daily basis, meaning that the individual is likely to be familiar with them already.

Comes complete with 8 different emotion symbols symbols that can be used to complete the ‘I feel …’ sentence at the bottom of the board. Pre printed and ready to go. Just pop out from the backing plastic, and attach the enclosed hook and loop.
No more laminating symbols just to have them split and fall apart a few weeks later! A game changer for parents and professionals alike!
