Overview
Matrix Maker is a powerful yet easy-to-use tool designed to help teachers, therapists, and parents create communication and learning materials quickly and effectively. It allows you to design and print symbolised resources such as communication boards, worksheets, vocabulary charts, flashcards, and labels - all tailored to individual learners.
Matrix Maker provides access to a wide range of symbols, images, and templates, allowing users to make high-quality, personalised resources that support communication, literacy, and learning.
Getting started
Be sure to install both Matrix Maker and the IT Media Library:
- Matrix Maker v1.5 (48MB) (includes free 2 week trial)
- IT Media Library v2 (125MB)
The IT Media Library includes over 26,000 symbols and images.
When you first open Matrix Maker, you’ll be presented with a selection of ready-made templates. These include grids for communication boards, symbol charts, labels, and flashcards.
To create your first resource:
- Choose a template from the list (for example, 2x3 Grid or BIGmack).
- Add text, symbols, or images to each cell using the built-in editor.
- Adjust colours, borders, and fonts to suit your learner’s needs.
- Save your file and print it directly from the software.
Tip: If you’re creating resources for multiple learners, save your work as templates to speed up future projects.
