A Handy Visual Aid for Expressing Needs, Feelings and Everyday Thoughts

My Communication Book is a thoughtfully designed picture-based communication aid created by an Australian mum for her own daughter. It supports nonverbal, minimally verbal, and speech-delayed children using simple, bright visuals and easy-to-understand language, helping them share their thoughts, feelings, and needs at home, school, or on the go.

Why It’s Helpful

This visual tool offers a low-tech, portable way to reduce frustration and build confidence. As children point to images on its 12 clearly labelled and colour-coded tabs, such as Feelings & EmotionsNeeds & WantsOut & About, and Food & Drink, they practise early communication skills comfortably and familiarly.

It’s a brilliant support for families, educators and therapists aiming to empower learners with autism, speech delays, or developmental differences.

How to Use It

  1. Open the book and show your child how to use it.

  2. As you both go about the day, model the tool: say the words and point to the matching pictures.

  3. Encourage your child to point back when they want to communicate something.

  4. Respond by saying the word or phrase aloud and acting on it, repeating and expanding over time to build language skills

I thought they would be a little bigger for people's head

Ear Defenders

Store owner replied: Thanks for your feedback 😊 The Ear Defenders are adjustable and can be extended for a larger fit. We'll email you instructions on how to adjust them, which should give you a much more comfortable fit.

Customer photo review of The Big Soft Pillow

very restful, kids can relax after school.....

The Big Soft Pillow

This is the 2nd body sock I've purchased for my nephew as he loved his last one so much, he wore through it! Love the new design

Lycra Body Sock

Ease of use, great communication.

Fidget Chair Bands

Its aethestically pleasing for the toilet. Its quite good and hygienic for kids to clean the toilet without the mess of a wet toilet brush. However it would be a good idea to consider precautionary measures to prevent kids accidentally dropping it into the loo whilst using it.

BURBL Toilet Skid Mark Remover

My 35 yr old daughter tried it , she said it goes very fast it’s good for core strength. We haven’t had any kids on it yet but there will be some at my Christmas party this year.

Swivel Balance Chair: Move, Focus & Sit Comfortably

Would like it more if the penguin came with more stuffing so you can add more if that is your preference. And where are you supposed to put the weight. I paid extra for that but you can’t put it any where

Cuddle Penguin Cooling Body Cushion

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 The weighted bag is designed to go inside the hidden zippered pouch located on the side of the penguin, so it's easy to remove or insert as needed. Regarding the stuffing, we really appreciate your suggestion. We intentionally designed the penguin with a softer feel, but we'll certainly take your feedback on board as we continue to develop our products. If you're having any trouble locating the hidden pouch, please send us a message and we'd be more than happy to help.

love the pattern , much nicer than the basic black we had for years
