Product Description
The fan is useful to help understand the transition of leaving the home by using symbols such as walking, by car or on the bus. It is useful as can be popped into your bag for any journey.
This visual communicative tool 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 develop their language 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.
