Some time ago, maybe November, I used the
request a symbol feature on the
Mayer-Johnson website and suggested a number of oral motor and sensory integration related picture communication symbols. (Just yesterday I suggested each step in the task analysis on donning a winter coat.) Today I received an e-mail thanking me for my suggestions with an attachment of a whole lot of PCS symbols including:
- oral motor
- chewy tube
- grabber
- chew hand
- don't chew hand
- chew shirt
- don't chew shirt
- keep tongue in mouth
- mesh feeder
- night guard
- massage brush
- pressure brush
- sensory integration
- sour candy
- sour spray candy
- TMJ pain
Now that I think about it I created that list by typing in all of the items I received from my first
Donors Choose grant and the reasons why I wanted those items (i.e. shirt chewing). I am assuming these symbols will all be in the next
Boardmaker addendum. I am also assuming some one from Mayer-Johnson will comment if I am wrong.

You're right - these symbols will appear in a future addendum. Unfortunately, the soon-to-be-released 2008 PCS Addendum had already been finalized before these symbols were generated. Since we have to stop adding symbols several months before a new addendum is released (mainly to allow time for translating the labels into 40+ languages), I'm afraid that these symbols won't appear until a subsequent addendum.
