Blissymbols as an Augmentative and Alternative Communication Tool
Blissymbolics is a semantic, graphical language (also known as Semantography) composed of symbols that represent concepts, which can be combined to create new symbols and express ideas, particularly useful for individuals with severe speech and physical impairments.
History of Blissymbols
Blissymbolics was created by Charles K. Bliss (1897-1985). It is first applied in 1971 when Shirley McNaughton and a clinical team working with children with cerebral palsy introduced Blissymbols as a communication method for non-speaking students.
