These symbols can represent places, people, activities, feelings and objects’. (Bloom 1997) There are many different types of symbols we all use throughout our daily life. Not all people with complex communication needs will be able to interpret, understand and use symbols. 13. Picture Communication Symbols © 1981-2007 Mayer-Johnson 14.

Positive behaviour support: Getting it right from the start - Facilitators reference manual 51 PowerPoint 72* Some symbols are easier to interpret than others: the more concrete the symbol the easier it is to understand. In order to interpret and use a symbol, a person has to be able to decipher what the symbol is and link it to the real object or activity. Some of the things that make some symbols easier than others to interpret include: dimension 2D, 3D, iconicity (they closely look like what they represent). For example, giving a person that cannot read, a written word or sentence is like you trying to read something written in a language you don’t understand. Expecting a person to use a symbolic system that they cannot interpret can lead to a great deal of frustration for the person as well as compromise the success of an intervention plan. A speech pathologist can assist in identifying what symbolic system is the most appropriate for the person. Arrange symbols on a continuum from most concrete to the most abstract.
