Christmas and New Year's Eve 2011-2012

On the occasion of Christmas and New Year, we have created some materials for users of the Paper Chart Maker and the Personal Communicator. The charts can be downloaded (for free of course) by clicking one of the links below. The files that have been created with the Arasaac (colourful) or Sclera (black and white) library can be used by everyone. Other libraries are only accessible for those that own a license.

Remember that Paper Chart files can be used in the Personal Communicator and vice versa. On top of that, the symbols on the chart can be converted into symbols from another library with only one or two mouse-clicks. The chart's language can be translated in a similar way into one of the nine languages that Symbol for Windows is currently available in. For more information on these features, read the manual, or send us an e-mail.

Not only do physically disabled people have experiences which are not available to the able-bodied, they are in a better position to transcend cultural mythologies about the body, because they cannot do things the able-bodied feel they must do in order to be happy, normal, and sane. If disabled people were truly heard, an explosion of knowledge of the human body and psyche would take place
