80 Visual Communication Flash Cards | Emotions, Requests, Daily Needs
Support everyday communication with this set of 80 easy-to-understand visual flash cards, designed to help children, teens, and adults express their needs, feelings, preferences, and choices more clearly. This card set includes a wide range of practical communication topics, including emotions, requests, medical professionals, asking for help, preferences, animals, counting, school subjects, daily needs, and more. The cards use a thoughtful mix of cartoon-style and real-life images to support different visual preferences, learning styles, and communication needs. These cards may be useful for people who have limited verbal communication, are developing communication skills, or benefit from visual prompts to support understanding and expression. They can be used by families, educators, support workers, therapists, behaviour practitioners, and care teams as part of everyday routines, learning activities, social communication practice, or positive behaviour support. The cards are designed to encourage:
Choice-making and preference sharing
Requesting help, items, people, or activities
Identifying emotions and needs
Building understanding of common places, people, and routines
Supporting communication during moments of frustration or difficulty
Practising functional communication in a clear and visual way
They may also be used as part of a broader behaviour support approach to help teach safer, more functional ways to communicate needs. For example, a person may be supported to use a card to request help, ask for a break, express pain, or communicate a preference. With bright, simple, and engaging visuals, this resource is suitable for a wide range of ages and can be used at home, school, in therapy sessions, community settings, or support environments. This is a digital product, meaning you will receive printable files that can be downloaded, printed, laminated, cut out, and used again and again. No physical item will be shipped. Please note: This is a digital communication support tool and is not a replacement for individualised advice, assessment, therapy, or behaviour support planning from a qualified professional.
