The kit has been developed to those children and young people in Primary Schools on the autism spectrum or perhaps have traits but are yet to be diagnosed.
Over 90% of children are visual learners and up to 97% for those with social communication difficulties and yet we tend to use our voices far too much. This responds to children and young people who are visual learners. There are over 100 visual symbols either on communication fans displayed on safety lanyards or on clear and easy to understand communication tiles.
Especially useful for those on the autism spectrum, those with social communication difficulties and those with English as a second language. Help children understand what is happening next, routines, sequences, to make choices and communicate more effectively.
