Before you do, remember, we are a not for profit CIC. Another store may be slightly cheaper, but every penny spent with us helps children with disabilities.
For some children leaving the house isn’t easy and can be daunting leading to a sensory overload, with feelings such as fear, frustration or anxiety. The Time To Go Out Fan is a visual tool to help communicate to a child so that they know what to expect for a journey out and about.

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.
