Object-Symbol Resource LLC™ provides the tools, training, materials and support to get you started.

For those who have limited language, who are non-verbal, or who need a different way to communicate, Object-Symbol Resource (OSR) Communication Kits provide the solution. Our Communication Kits and durable Communication Boards, Choice Boards and Daily Schedule Boards have been successfully used by parents, teachers, care providers, Speech-Language Pathologists and other specialists to develop communication skills in individuals with:

• Communication Disorders
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Developmental Disabilities
• Visual and other sensory impairments
• Mental Retardation
• Decreased cognitive functioning due to illness, stroke or issues of aging.
• Acquired/Traumatic Brain Injuries
• RETT, Angelman and other unique syndrome

OSR Communication Kits include an assortment of professionally selected Object-Symbols. Each Object-Symbol represents a specific, common daily activity. With use and practice, the individual learns to recognize and understand the meaning of each Object-Symbol. As the number of known object-symbols grows, so does the individual's vocabulary. For example, when presented with the spoon-symbol, the individual thinks 'eat.' Similarly, when presented with the key-symbol, the individual thinks 'car ride.'

Persons of all ages and abilities very quickly learn to ObolSpeak as they associate new object-symbols with an ever-widening array of life's activities. With mastery of each new Object-Symbol, the individual develops a useful and functional vocabulary one Object-Symbol (one thought...one word...one activity) at a time.

OSR also offers high quality, Communication Boards, Eye Gaze Boards, Choice Boards, Daily Schedule Boards and an Object-Symbol Organizer to support you in developing a functional communication system. Each Communication Kit and all our Boards come with easy-to-follow instructions for teaching and using Object-Symbols.
