LessonPix Review and Giveaway!

Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Have you heard of LessonPix? I first learned about this program while I was at an Autism training over the summer. Bill and Lori Binko, creators of LessonPix, were doing a demonstration of the program when it caught my eye. LessonPix is comparable to Boardmaker. (But in my opinion, if Boardmaker and LessonPix got into a fight, LessonPix will totally kick butt!) There is so much you can do with this program and there are so many more picture options.

Here is a little background on LessonPix:
Lori Binko is a mother of four and a National Board Certified teacher in Special Education. Currently, she teaches an inclusion Pre-K class in a public school. Bill Binko leads cutting-edge development efforts and solving unique and difficult problems for companies of all sizes.  After 18 years in corporate IT and consulting, he's thrilled to bring his technical expertise, development abilities and non-traditional thinking to bear on much more rewarding challenges.  He is always looking for ways to bring solutions to the early childhood, SLP, and ASD communities. Together, they have created LessonPix for the people who support and who love special learners. The goal was an easy online tool to create specific, customized materials for parents, teachers and therapists. The result is LessonPix ‐ a powerful set of tools. As the parents of a special needs child, their professional lives and talents lent to making this online set of tools to create learning materials, schedules and visual supports for the home, the classroom … anywhere.


LessonPix allows you to quickly and easily make custom materials to use in your classroom, therapy sessions, at home, etc. After you choose your pictures, you are given options for what to create with them. Here are just some of the examples:

  • Bingo Cards
  • I Have, Who Has game
  • Lacing Cards
  • Pattern Strips
  • Picture Cards for communication
  • Treasure Maps
  • Calendar Cards
  • Custom Dice
  • Writing Pages
  • Weekly Tracking Chart
  • Sorting Mats
  • etc......
I was so impressed with this program that I contacted Bill about doing a product review and giveaway! I now use LessonPix all the time! Below are some examples of projects I have created using LessonPix:
Social story cue cards to keep at the student's seat. 

First/Then visual schedule
