ABSTRACT
Pictures taken with digital cameras have become an alternative and complement to symbols in communication for persons with cognitive disabilities. I have started a discussion forum on digital pictures on the internet. The postings from the discussion forum were analyzed to see what kind of use of digital pictures that professionals and parents are interested in. To validate the results, an e-mail survey was sent to those who had visited the discussion forum and they were asked how they actually used their pictures. The findings indicate some interesting differences between what was discussed and what was actually done.
