The "Critical Communication Skills" keychain is a resource designed for children with communication disorders to equip them with a simple tool to communicate their most essential needs.

The keychain contains a series of symbols and pictures that represent different communication messages that would all be considered 'critical' to be able to communicate. For example, answering 'yes' and 'no', requesting for the toilet, indicating the need for food or drink.

Children with communication disorders can use this keychain to practice and develop their critical communication skills in real-life situations. For example, if a child is feeling overwhelmed in class but is unable to verbally ask for a break, they can show their teacher the 'i need a break' card to appropriately request a break.

The "Following Directions" keychain is a tool designed to help children with communication disorders improve their ability to follow instructions and directions. While the 'critical communication skills' keychain would be worn by the child, the 'following directions' keychain would be worn or held by the parent/teacher/caregiver.

This keychain is intended for providing a visual to accompany common instructions we give to children. For example, 'stop', 'wait', 'sit down', 'gentle hands'. Children with communication difficulties can have trouble following verbal instructions as words are so transient. The visual provides a more solid cue to help the child understand what is being asked of them.

Our "feelings" keychain is a tool that can be used by children with communication disorders to help them communicate their feelings and emotions. The keychain contains a series of symbols and pictures that represent different emotions and feelings.

Children with communication disorders can use this keychain to communicate their emotions and feelings in situations where they may not be able to express themselves verbally. For instance, if a child is feeling sad or upset, they can use the keychain to show others how they feel without having to say anything. This can be a helpful tool for children who struggle with expressing themselves verbally, allowing them to communicate effectively and be better understood by others.
