Printable Communication Cards for Adults & Children | 276 Visual Cards

When speaking is difficult, unavailable or not preferred, having clear visual choices can make everyday communication easier. This large printable set includes 276 communication cards plus a blank template, giving children and adults a practical way to point to needs, feelings, choices and important information across home, school, healthcare and community settings.

The cards can be used alongside speech, gestures, writing, pointing or another established communication method. You can print only the pages that are useful for the individual rather than using the full set at once.
