Stage One
This set is designed to teach in stages.  Stage One consists of two identical images on a non-distracting white background. The well photographed, vivid pictures make it easy for learners to master matching, labeling and categorization skills during this stage.  These picture pairs are organized into nine categories: Animals, Clothing, Colors, Everyday Objects, Foods, Furniture, Shapes, Toys, and Vehicles.  Every image is selected for its familiarity, appeal to children, and its cognitive development value.

Stage Two
Stage Two, presents the pictures from stage one in natural settings, enabling learners to conceptualize and generalize their language.  Not only do these cards promote receptive and expressive language, they can also be used for storytelling and more.

These cards are thoughtfully designed for ease of use.  The back of each card is numbered and gives a label and category for the image, as well as suggested activities for the image. The back of the card also features a system to track a learner's progress with a place to note the date that the card is introduced and mastered.  An activity booklet is included with detailed instruction ideas. The card set is organized with divider cards, pre-printed stickers for custom organizing, and a sturdy "work-from" box. Each card is a standard 3.5" x 5" photo size, making it easy to incorporate your own pictures.  Each card is coated with a hi-gloss varnish making them durable.

This comprehensive basic vocabulary photo library is a must have for any speech-language pathologist, special educator, or parent.  This set has proven to be an effective tool for teaching key language concepts to children and adults with autism, developmental delay, or speech/language delay.  It is used as a crucial part of Applied Behavior Analysis programs across the world.  The National Association for the Education of Young Children includes realistic photos and pictures as an important component of developmentally appropriate materials that should be integrated into every early childhood program which strives to meet national standards of quality (NAEYC, 1998).
