Support children to understand, communicate and navigate their day with this 20-page Visual Communication Support Pack.

Designed for early years settings, childminders and home learning environments, this practical printable resource provides a wide range of clear visual supports that can be used throughout everyday routines, transitions and care experiences.

The pack includes:

• My Day visual board

• Daily routine cards covering activities such as welcome, free play, group time, outdoor play, meals, toileting, nappy changes, sensory play, quiet space, getting ready and more

• Transition visuals including now, next, then, wait, later, finished, stop, change and visual countdowns

• Step-by-step handwashing, toileting and nappy change routines

• Mealtime, sleep & rest and going home routines

• Feelings cards to support children in recognising and communicating emotions

• Calming choice cards, including breathing, quiet space, sensory bottle, adult help, ear defenders, playdough and more

• Food and drink choice boards and cards, with a broad range of familiar foods and drinks

• Turn-taking visuals for my turn, your turn, wait and finished

• A “Where Does It Hurt?” visual to help children communicate pain or discomfort

The simple black-and-white design keeps the visuals clear and uncluttered, making them easy to print, cut out, laminate and use again and again.

These visuals may be particularly helpful for children with SEND, communication differences, emerging language or EAL, but they can also be used as an inclusive everyday resource to support all children with routines, independence, choices and expectations.
