Products for use by people with Autism and other developmental disabilities, used in special education and communication.

Why would I choose a Portacom System Product?

Because you need an inconspicuous, easily accessible, attractive, portable way of carrying all your visual support strategies with you no matter where you go in your life, for maximum independence. The Portacom System Products are all made from high quality outerwear fabric that is both water and stain resistant. Easily washable in the machine or by hand the inner fabric is Velcro hook compatible so your visual supports will adhere to the Portacom (or in the clear vinyl pockets as with the Object Cue System) and can be easily

removed and transferred between products.

Text Box: “Just wanted to thank you for sharing your truly wonderful products with us. I had the opportunity to try them out on field trips with a variety of students with Autism, oral motor dysfunction and other disabilities. In all cases my kids accepted wearing the Portacoms and used them to
communicate requests as we moved about restaurants and shops!”

Text Box: The Portacom System is used to help people with Autism, Autism Spectrum and related developmental disabilities. It is a communication support system for those using A.A.C. In special education and communication. People with Asperger's syndrome, fetal alcohol syndrome (F.A.S.) and other cognitive disabilities and language disorders using picture communication find this invaluable. Whether using picture exchange communication System (PECS), in special education, speech & language pathology or early intervention programs. In Applied Behavior Analysis or ABA Therapy, or IBI (Intensive Behavior Intervention) for people who have Autism or other developmental disabilities, the Portacom System can help in their support. Any non verbal communication with people with Autism, developmental disabilities and special education can benefit from this.

The Portacom System Products are all made from high quality outerwear fabric that is both water and stain resistant. Easily washable in the machine or by hand the inner fabric is Velcro hook compatible so your visual supports will
adhere to the Portacom (or in the clear

Object Cue System) and can be easily
removed and transferred between
products. We use only the best quality zippers easy for small or
disabled hands to operate and high quality vinyl for the window pockets. The buckles and waist straps are made from the same quality supplies used in police and other emergency team gear. A Portacom Standard used as recommended lasted our children up to two years before the fabric was
significantly worn enough to warrant
purchasing a new model. In dollars this works out to less than $4.00 per month. I leave it to you to find anything that works as well or lasts as long as this low tech, versatile line of products designed especially for persons who require visual supports to understand and communicate in the world around them.
