I Hurt Fan

The I Hurt Fan is a simple visual tool to help a child or someone who is non-verbal to tell you where it hurts and how much it hurts. This fan is good to use in various different situations such as when at home, in a childcare setting, at school or health or medical environment.

A mother has reported that the I Hurt Fan has helped her daughter to be able to tell her teacher that she had a tight chest when she was feeling asthmatic. Previously she had no way to express how she felt.

This fan can be used in everyday situations to help children or those with additional learning needs to communicate how they are feeling by using some clear visual illustrations. This can help to prevent anger and frustration for a child or person who is not understood by others or has trouble communicating which in turn can help to build their confidence and independence.

Showing children one image at a time can help them process the current situation around them. The images are easy to understand to help the learner and carer to communicate more effectively and can help to teach appropriate behaviours. This can be particularly useful for children with autism, learning difficulties or limited speech.

The fans are double laminated for extra strength and are 125mm tall and 45mm at their widest point and can be easily popped into your bag if you are on the go. Use it for school, at home or days out.

Please note that this product is not a toy and should be used under adult supervision.
