My Communication Book, Picture-Based Everyday Communication Aid
My Communication Book
A compact visual communication book with 12 colour-coded sections for quick, low-tech access to everyday words and ideas.
My Communication Book is a picture-based communication aid created by an Australian mum for her daughter. Its simple visuals and clearly organised sections give children a practical way to point to needs, feelings, activities and choices when spoken words are difficult, unavailable or not the easiest option in the moment.
The book uses labelled tabs to make common vocabulary easier to find, including sections for Feelings & Emotions, Needs & Wants, Food & Drink, Activities, Commands, Vehicles and Opposites.
At approximately 14 x 17.5 cm, it is compact enough for home, school, appointments and community outings while remaining large enough for clear picture choices.
Model the book by pointing to a picture while saying the matching word or phrase, then give the child time to point, indicate or respond in their preferred way. Use it consistently across familiar routines without forcing a response.
The book can be used as a practical low-tech communication option on its own or alongside other established communication methods. It does not replace individual speech pathology or AAC advice where that is needed.
