Pictogram Dictionary

Description

Pictogram is a visual dictionary which contains all picto images in 15 languages. You can easily search, browse, add favorites and create your own groups.

Pictogram is a tried-and-tested and functional visual language developed for people with cognitive difficulties. The system currently includes about 1,700 Picto images.

The system has been developed – and continues to be developed – by specialists at the Institute for Special Educational Needs, in collaboration with users, teachers, speech therapists, psychologists and occupational therapists with long experience of alternative means of communication.

Each Picto image represents a word or concept, e.g. boy, eat or happy. The symbol is always white on a black square. The word/concept is also presented as text above the symbol.

The Pictogram system includes several classes of words. The emphasis is on nouns and verbs, but the system also accommodates pronouns, adjectives, numerals, conjunctions, prepositions, interjections and adverbs.
