I think it could be very helpful....What do you think? Leonor Text of message from schwartzl@juno.com, 17 May 2000, 12:24 PM Helene We got flashcards called Talking Pictgures which have simple concepts on the front and either sign language or the translation of the concept into english, spanish, french, german and italian. They were done by a company called Crestwood Company 6625 N. Sidney Place Milwaukee WI 53209 -- 414-352-5678. They have a catalog of communication aids for children and adults. Good luck !
