How they can be used

Children can point to or show a card, or use the cards alongside gestures, writing, typing, AAC or speech. There is no requirement to use every card or to progress towards spoken communication.

Selecting a smaller group of cards that are most relevant to the child and situation can make the set easier to use at home, school, appointments or in the community.
