When speaking is difficult or unavailable, everyone still deserves a clear way to express what they need.
This free 48-card visual communication starter set provides a simple, accessible way for children, teens and adults to communicate everyday needs, feelings, sensory needs and requests without relying only on speech.
The black-and-white, printer-friendly cards can be used alongside speech, gestures, writing, pointing or other communication methods — giving someone another way to make choices, ask for help and communicate what matters in the moment.
Examples include Yes, No, I need help, I don’t understand, Stop, I’m hungry, I’m thirsty, I need the toilet, I need a break, It’s too loud, I need quiet, Please and Thank you.
These cards may be useful for children, teens or adults who use visual communication, find speech difficult in some situations, or benefit from an additional way to communicate. They can be used at home, school, appointments, therapy and care settings, or while out in the community.
Print the pages you need, cut out the cards and laminate them if you would like a more durable reusable set.
This free 48-card pack is designed as a starter set. For a wider range of vocabulary and situations, explore the 168 Printable Communication Cards, the 180 Simple Printable Communication Cards or the Colourful Printable Communication Cards.
