Inference Pics has 300+ engaging, real-life inference pictures and seven inference activities: What has happened?, Jobs, Places, Seasons, Feelings, Thoughts, Conversations.
HOW
to use Inference Pics
Each inference picture in Inference Pics has two inference prompts/questions. The first question varies depending on the chosen inference activity. For example, in the Conversations activity the user is asked "What are they saying? while in the Seasons activity the inference prompt is "What time of year is it?
The second question in each inference activity is always “How do you know?”. This allows the user to practise verbal expression and giving explanations. It also prompts the child or adult to explain what clues they found to enable them to make an inference.

A wonderful, user-friendly app that I’ve used with many of my clients to work on expressive language and inferencing skills. With multiple sections, this app can be incorporated into so many sessions, and the client will be challenged with new stimuli every time!
