Autism Supplies And Developments Plastic Visual ASD Communication Keyring Picture Communication Symbols

The lack of adequate communication skills is often a key source of great frustration for those on the autistic spectrum, or those with limited verbal abilities. This useful, pocket sized, keyring, comes with a collection of symbol cards for users to express their basic wants and needs. It allows them to easily express how they are feelings (e.g. hot/cold, hungry/thirsty etc), and also what they would like (e.g. toilet, car, to go home). It is fantastic to promote communication, reduce stress and meltdowns, and often has a massively positive impact on the user’s quality of life. Designed initially for autistic children, it has been used successfully with a wide age range and also alternative diagnoses such as learning disabilities, ADHD, Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and even dementia. It has also been used in pre-schools and other early years setting extremely successfully. Being made from plastic means that both the board and symbols are flexible, yet remain strong and extremely durable. This product is part of the Autism Supplies and Developments range of visual communication aids, which were originally designed to help our own autistic son. With over 30 years professional and personal experience being with those on the spectrum, you can be sure that these products are well designed and helpful.
