Read full description

A communication app for people who find pictures easier to understand than words Picture stories to enrich the lives of the people you care about. The BBW Story App is a fast and simple way to access pictures that will help enable the people you care about to explore and understand the world. It is a unique and easy to use mobile tool, which aids communication, decision making and self-exploration, to support people who find pictures easier to understand than words. For over 35 years Beyond Words have been creating books with and for people with learning disabilities, as well as autistic people, refugees and young people. The BBW Story App now gives you access 1800+ pictures and 400 scenarios (short stories) at your fingertips. For a supporter, having the best tools on hand 24/7 to aid communication and to comfort the person you are supporting is invaluable. This app is for families, carers and professionals supporting people with learning disabilities and communication difficulties. The BBW Story App contains some sensitive material: We recommend that children and vulnerable adults should always be supported when accessing this version of the BBW Story APP. Parents, carers and supporters should look through the BBW Story App before using it. All material has been created with the advice of professionals and tested with people with intellectual/learning disabilities. Many of the more challenging and adult themes can be important for younger people but must always be approached sensitively, and with appropriate support, especially when covering subjects such as medical procedures, violence and abuse, sexuality and death and dying.
