For Daniel, using laminated picture cards was part of training to get his own computer communication device (V-max by Dynavox). We still resort to cards for things like flahscards for math or letter recognition. And having an easy to use velcro board is helpful.
This one is cheap and easy to make. I used two thicknesses of foam core -- the stuff used for tri-fold displays. My cheapest source was the Dollar Store. This one is actually an older brother's history display recycled. A hot glue gun makes it easy to secure the two layers together.
Then I covered the board with velcro receptive fabric which I found here: http://www.seattlefabrics.com/
If you don't have access to a specialty fabric store, you could search online, or you can improvise with headliner material -- the stuff used by car restoration buffs to replace the "ceiling" in a car. It's not quite so good, but it does the job.
The velcro receptive fabric is also hot glued down securely.
There you have it -- a light weight, inexpensive, functional surface to attach the PECs symbols or photo cards to.
