They are more likely to remember and understand what they have seen rather than what they hear. Using visual support like TomTag to present information visually and in a step-by-step manner allows visual thinkers and learners to take in information at their own pace. Visuals can act as a reminder when children forget what’s been said or become distracted. TomTag helps to bring their attention back to the task or current situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout TomTags\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClare Tom's Mum - ''W\u003cem\u003ehen Tom was younger, it wasn't easy to know how he felt.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHe was nonverbal until he was five years old, and even when he started to speak, he struggled to find the words to tell me his feelings.
