Lots of children with disabilities have difficulty with speaking or understanding the spoken word. This could be because of a physical disability or a neurological impairment. It is not uncommon for schools and families to use a system of picture symbols to communicate the child's wants and needs.

Giving Greetings (www.givinggreetings.com) sells greeting cards and posters that are created (with permission) with the pictures from Picture Communicaton Symbols.

Randi Sargent is the founder of this business. Inspired by charity cards when her family (including son, Graham, who has cerebral palsy) lived in the UK. Now, in the the United States, Sargent finds that many families, caregivers, and professionals are eager to purchase these delighful products.
