My son has a mild form of autism which contributed to his speech delays. This product aided him visually in identifying items in different categories at a rapid rate, as well as encouraged his memorization skills. Soon enough, he was able to verbally ID every item shown to him. The one thing I didn't agree with was the price. Because my son was able to master item identification, we only used this picture set for a short period of time. I suppose one can say the price was worth it.

This set is expensive but worth the value for children with Autism or delayed speakers. It includes several categories for learning. The first is the object with a white background and then it builds to objects in a natural setting and then similar objects so your child can learn variety. There is also a section for shapes and color as well as matching items. My autistic son is 2 and is just learning to speak and these have been a wonderful tool to motivate his speech. This product is crucial to implementing Applied Behavior Anyalysis.

This product has been great to use for purposes of generalization. My son has an ASD, and I highly recommend these card for therapists/parents with children that have an ASD. They have worked great for us. A few of the pictures are a little dated, but overall we've been happy with the purchase.

I love these picture cards! I have used these in all the ABA based language programs I've worked. Now I'm practicing independently, and I wish they were not so expensive, because they make running a program so much easier. I love how there is a set with a white background so that children aren't identifying an extraneous stimulus rather than the target stimulus. If you are only using them with one child, they have a useful list on the back side to record mastery dates for the different verbal operants. There are plenty of cards here to complete an ABLLS-R or VB-MAPP. They are made of sturdy card stock, and I've never seen one get bent or ripped. The box is also sturdy and contains index dividers with pretyped labels and blank labels, so you can organize them, and grab them quickly.

I have two children with autism and this card set has been the most used item in years of ABA therapy. Not only is it used for all different activities, but my kids (typical and with autism) love to just look through them! Some of the pictures are very dated...I don't know if this set is still the same or has been updated (pictures of old rotary phones, tape decks, etc!). They are expensive...I still don't understand why they cost so much...but they do last forever and will definitely get used. My daughter just started a new program and it was the first thing they requested we get for her.
