I am building a prototype site for user exchange of images for use with the PECS system of speech / language therapy.
PECS is a picture exchange system of communication. Essentially you print thumbnails, cut them out, and laminate them. Individuals who do not have words use these to communicate by selecting and ordering the images to form statements, requests, and comments.
As a parent whose small child is in PECS therapy, I have noticed that a broad selection of freely available PECS pictures that can be used to make PECS cards is not available; often parents in my situation must resort to purchasing CDs of images, expensive software, or taking pictures of household items and then somehow formatting them appropriately. In an Internet age this makes no sense at all.
Accordingly, I have set up a prototype site at http://www.soaringhorse.com/pectin that allows anyone to upload and share images for use in PECS therapy. I am using Image module to allow for upload and viewing. What I am missing is a means of formatting the pictures for easy printing for PECS use. This would essentially be a 'contact sheet' of thumbnails in a printer ready page, maybe with some control over thumbnail size and how many images are in each row and column.
If this exists, without requiring use of Gallery or another module that would break taxonomy support, could someone point it out? Alternatively, pointers to documentation on how to access the images via some method of selection for inclusion in a contact sheet-formatted page, so I can start to figure out how to build it myself, would be very helpful.
