Text Box: Portacom Calendar   It is versatile in any setting working well in the daycare and preschool settings for small children at circle time as well as the primary classrooms in public or private school settings for planning upcoming events and activities. At home in the scheduling area or in the group home setting where scheduling can be set up for more than one person at a time on the same calendar it is a must. Symbols transfer easily from the calendar to the individual Portacom Standard or Midsize. The Calendar comes with full colour, two inch symbols including all types of weather, days of the week, months of the year and numbers 1 thru 31 for each day. It is 30 inches wide by 20 inches long with Velcro strips dividing each day.   Designer’s comments The Portacom Calendar is an important component to any AAC scheduling system. To plan ahead symbols are placed on the Velcro compatible calendar which should be hung in the scheduling area. As each new day arrives scheduled activity symbols are taken from the calendar and placed in the individuals Standard or Midsize Portacom where they can be taken to school, to work or out into the community. The calendar provides a conversation area where important activities are discussed and planned, where choices are made by individuals about their day, week and month. No schedule system is complete without a calendar for AAC users to visually plan ahead and make important choices about their lives.
