Out in the Community - Aided Language Display Set

Make communication more accessible when you're out and about with the Community Aided Language Display Set — a practical, portable visual communication resource designed to support communication across a range of everyday community environments.

This compact set features laminated communication cards attached to a durable metal keychain loop, making it easy to keep the visuals together and take them wherever you go. The cards include core communication visuals alongside location-specific visuals, helping children and individuals communicate their needs, choices, actions and experiences in familiar and unfamiliar community settings.

The set is organised into six easy-to-find sections, with visuals for:

• Playground
• Shops
• Playcentre
• Movie Theatre
• Swimming Pool
• Public Transport

Having relevant visuals available in the environment where they are needed can help provide additional opportunities for communication, choice-making, participation and independence. The visuals can be used by the individual, or by parents, carers, educators and therapists to model and support communication.

Designed for Community Access

Community environments can be busy, unpredictable and overwhelming. Having a familiar communication support readily available can make it easier to express wants, needs, preferences and actions when verbal communication may be difficult.

The keychain format makes this resource particularly practical for community outings, therapy sessions, school excursions, support work and family activities. Simply attach it to a bag, lanyard or other convenient location so it is always within reach.

Portable, practical and easy to use, the Community Aided Language Display Set helps bring communication support beyond the classroom and into everyday life.
