The power of communication lies within 54 visual communication cards encompassing children’s fundamental needs, wants, and opinions. For non-verbal students and ASL users, these cards are a lifeline to the world, allowing them to interact meaningfully with peers and adults alike. From simple introductions like “My name is __” to inquire about others’ names, “What is your name?”, these cards facilitate connections and foster a sense of belonging for every student.

One of the key benefits of these visual communication cards is their inclusivity. By presenting each sentence in both English and ASL versions, they effectively build a bridge between the two languages, promoting bilingualism and empowering students to express themselves in complete sentences. From stating their emotions, such as “I am excited,” “I am sad,” or “I am happy,” to expressing their needs, like “I am hungry” or “I need help,” the students can now communicate with confidence and clarity.

The effectiveness of these communication cards lies not just in the words they convey but in the additional guidance they offer. The ASL sentence cards come with hints on utilizing facial expressions to add ASL grammar, enriching the communication experience and making it more nuanced and expressive. These cards offer phrases for seeking clarification and cooperation, such as “Can you repeat that, please?” or “Can I have a break, please?” enabling students to engage in conversations and navigate various social situations actively.
