MY WORD BOOK is a handy, easy-to-use, low-tech tool to help children and adults with disabilities write independently. It offers pages that are pre-printed with the most commonly used words in the English language, as well as ample space to record personal lists of favourite and useful words, names, and places. This simple tool enables users to write more easily when performing schoolwork such as journal writing and tasks such as composing letters, shopping lists, and to-do lists. One of the great assets of MY WORD BOOK is that word lists can be customised to reflect studies, work, and personal interests. For instance, before a new curriculum unit on transportation, a student can list the words -- car, train, airplane -- that will likely be encountered. Or an adult sending out holiday greetings can consult his list for the correct spellings of 'Christmas' and 'Easter'. Additional material in the back of the book provides lists, charts, and illustrations detailing simple punctuation, days of the week, months and their abbreviations, dates, coins, clocks, counting, simple measurements, common symbols, and other useful information. Portable, flexible, and affordable, MY WORD BOOK is a great aid to visual learners such as individuals with Down syndrome and can also be used by children and adults with autism, fragile X syndrome, learning disabilities, mental retardation, and traumatic brain injury. Teachers, parents, caregivers, and employers will appreciate the adaptability of MY WORD BOOK to many tasks and the independence it fosters.
