Bliss Tactile Symbols: Another Tool for your AAC Toolbox

2024-2025 ESC SLP Statewide Webinar Series

Since 2012, our ESC collaboration has been committed to providing Texas school-based Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) with top-quality professional development. Our engaging and interactive webinar series features respected experts in communication, offering a trusted source of continuing education for SLPs and school staff alike.

This is Webinar (8 of 10):

Bliss tactile symbols are a new generation of tactile symbols brought together through the use of 3D-printing and the use of the established symbol system, Blissymbolics. These tactile symbols are easy to print and consistent. They are beneficial for supporting communication with non-speaking individuals who are blind, deaf/blind, or visually impaired, as well as students with complex communication needs. This session will introduce the Bliss tactile symbols, provide a brief history, describe the benefits, and provide implementation strategies.
