Do you have a student with poor self-initiation and self-advocacy skills? Then give this form a try! This is a simple spreadsheet that contains spaces for the student's daily schedule, as well as columns for 'I accomplished...,' 'I still need to...,' and 'I need support with.' This can be a manual handwriting task for the student, but it functions very well as a communal document that the student, parent/guardians, and all teachers can access throughout the day and week.

Communication Comfort Cards

Communication Comfort Cards

(0)
This is a set of three colour-based communication cards that are a wonderful aid for the able and disabled alike. However, they can be particularly useful with those that have an autistic spectrum disorder. They are an easy and effective way for people to let staff members, classmates, friends or almost anyone know how they feel about communicating at that point in time. Each card is 3 x 4 and fit easily inside a name badge holder. Alternatively, you can laminate them and use a hole punch before threading them onto a lanyard. This set includes both a UK and US friendly versions; along with a set for those that are familiar with this system and also one for those that are new to it. I hope this simple aid can help your students, family or friends to communicate more effectively! If you have any feedback please get in touch.
