PODD (Pragmatic Organisation Dynamic Display) is a robust communication system developed by Australian speech therapist Gayle Porter. It consists of symbol-based communication books or page sets that support individuals with complex communication needs. PODD is available in two formats within Mind Express 5:
Tell a story, ask a question or make a joke in a practical way.
Say what you want to say, in your own way, when and to whom you want to.
Developed by Australian speech therapist Gayle Porter.
Use PODD where and when you want, combine the paper and digital version.
The high-tech PODD page sets are designed for Windows-based AAC devices, such as the Vibe 10, Vibe 12+, and Tellus. These page sets provide dynamic, interactive communication for users who rely on speech-generating devices.
To use PODD on a speech-generating device, you need:
For users who use paper-based communication, PODD book templates are available in Direct Access and Alternative Access formats. These templates allow you to create and customise printed PODD books within Mind Express 5.
For individuals who can point directly using a hand, finger, or pointer tool. Some templates also support partner-assisted visual scanning.

The combination of logically organised symbol books and modeling (friends, family and other carers who serve as models for learning and imitating) encourages a continuous language immersion. It all works through the combination of a paper version, the PODD books and a digital version that runs on Mind Express. To do this, you need to purchase a PODD license and you need PCS symbols.
