Autism Communication Fan Where Hurts?

Autism Communication Fan Where Hurts?

(0)
This visual communication fan is a great way for your students to communicate with you where they are in pain. Many of our students struggle to explain where they feel pain - or where is hurting. This visual, symbol supported fan is going to help aide with the communication barriers - and get your student the help that they need. There are a range of different body parts included on this fan, and you can put them together with a keyring and keep on you at all times. Visuals are very important to your autism and special education students. By having them portable, and on the go, it means that we can continue our communication outside of the classroom. Body parts included are; arm head (boy) head (girl) ear eye finger foot knee ankle leg lips nose shoulders stomach teeth thumb toe tongue hand wrist I highly recommend cutting out each of the individual fan pieces, laminating them then hole punching the bottom and attaching to a keyring so that they can be used to show students quickly and easily.
