Filing Systems

     In my first example of a filing system, the consumer can see text that is about 40 points without use of magnification, so I was able to put the alphabet in the plastic tabs, using a sharpie pen.  Then using peel-off label paper, I put labels of categories on manilla folders as shown in the pictures to the right. hanging file systemclose-up of hanging file system

   I like using the whole-sheet label paper, so I am not limited by the size of the individual label in which font I choose


    In my second example example below,  my consumer needed to have text at 100 point font and he chose to use a portable file box.   As you can see, I put the 100 point alphabetical labels on the front of each seperator,  as well as putting the name of each category in that size font on individual manilla folders.

  The label paper pictured to the right can be purchased at Staples or any office supply store.  It is pretty costly, but you can have your agency buy a package and then dispense them to your consumers by the page, thus not making you spend too much of your alloted money for that person.  I usually don't have to use more than three sheets per filing system, even when the individual needs really large fonts. 
   I use Microsoft Word to print on these sheets and HERE is an example of  the alphabet in 100 point Times New Roman Font
