Boardmaker Share

Today, I was making visual supports for one of our service recipients- 12 year old girl who is having difficulty independently completing her shower routine. Her caregiver said that steps are often being skipped.

I was making her at schedule related to showering and I found an AMAZING resource for those working with BoardMaker. It is called Boardmaker Share and users upload their boards/templates there and you can download them and open them with the Boardmaker program on your computer and the CUSTOMIZE and edit them just as if you had created them from scratch. You have to register but it is quick and easy.

So I searched "Shower" and found some great boards that others has already made. I found one that I liked and edited to meet the specific needs of the individual I was creating it for. What a time saver! This is a great tool for teachers, Instrutional Therapists and parents. If you already have BoardMaker, I recommend using this site :)

It is a great way to save some time and collaborate with others.
