Using the professional knowledge I had gained as an Occupational Therapist working in Mental Health, working closely with speech and Language therapists and with teachers, we found new ways to help my son to communicate in the school setting. However, we were frustrated at the fact that the visual cards only covered certain needs or were too childish or too grown up for my child. We just knew there must be a better way. This led to us making our own. We have since been working with individuals and organizations in making more accessible cards covering a range of needs. If you need something more specific to your own needs or organizational needs please get in touch and I will try to help. What makes our cards unique? Our communication cards come as an instant download, meaning you can print these as soon as you have purchased them. They have all been designed through consultation with customers, combined with our own professional knowledge. Why do we love creating printable communication cards? We love helping others with challenges and issues that we have dealt with both on a personal and professional level. Helping others to overcome their challenges is so rewarding especially when one of our products has helped someone and improved their life immeasurably. .
