Picture Menus

Claire and Nicola put together a picture/photo menu for use at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, in order to increase the amount of accessible information available to patients with communication problems. The menu follows the Hospital’s two week menu rotation.

As well as featuring symbols and pictures of each food choice, the menu includes photographs of every meal available to patients. The name of each food item is also written simply and in large print.

The symbols for the food items were provided by Boardmaker 6, a software programme that provides images for communication aids (www.mayer-johnson.com).
