Information for People in the USA, Canada, and South American Countries:

Currently, What is available for PODD communication books is a three CD set of Direct access templates from Melbourne Australia. If you live in a country that typically uses letter size paper, you need to be aware that the templates in this version of the resource are designed to print on A4 and A5 size paper.

A North American (letter size) version of the communication book templates that are sized to print onto letter size paper, is currently being developed. This version should be available the first week of December, 2008. It is possible to print the pages of the current version on letter size paper using Boardmaker set to: “Print Board on Single Page”, but this is not ideal. The written information will be similar for both versions.

CPEC has agreed that anyone from a country that uses letter size paper who decides to purchase the current (A4 & A5 paper) version will receive a discount if they decide to purchase the letter paper version when it becomes available. 50% of the cost of the A4/A5 version will be credited to the cost of purchasing the letter size version (i.e. cost of letter version
minus AUS $90).

The other difference between the versions is that the current version uses a number of vocabulary items that are specific to Australia. The Letter size version will have vocabulary that is more specific to North America.
