Our own autistic's son's need. We both worked in the care sector so we used our experiences to create the range you see here today. Our products are designed for an autism household! Made from high quality plastic, they are strong, durable and easy to clean with simple soap and water. Easy. Because we really and truly understand. We've been there ourselves, and we love nothing more than hearing from our customers how our products have changed their lives. Bright yellow draws attention and improves engagement, and is scientifically proven to stimulate mental activity. We exclusively use genuine Picture Communication Symbols - designed by experts, and probably already familiar to your child. Easy clean, waterproof board. Great to use wherever support is needed - even in the shower! Easily sanitise between settings. Hardwearing and durable. We use hook and loop - not magnets which are dangerous when swallowed and can wipe electronic data. Compatible with your existing PECs symbols. We are a family business based in the UK, and base all our products on those that we created for our own autistic son - so we know that they work. Our products are used globally by many people - attention disorders, autistic spectrum, elderly, early years, speech delay and learning disability. A4 board has been designed to be strong and flexible - wall mount, carry around, keep it on the desk or pop into your bag for use out and about. Great for using in any setting - home, school, respite, day care, nursing home. Durable enough to bring between settings for consistency. Allows the person to manage chunks of their day independently - no need to rely on adults/carers for explanations or prompts. Builds confidence, which then spreads to other areas of the person's life. Develop a sense of achievement and improve their independence. Over time, repeating the same series of activities over and over will help it to become routine and eventually habit, gradually reducing the need to for support. Make significant periods of time easier and stress-free, reducing the mental energy it takes to get through the day. Why do you use symbols not photos? Don't photos work better? Using symbols instead of photos means the concept is generalised. A photo of Mom's car means going in Mom's car. Not Dad's, not Grandma's, not the babysitter's. And what happens if Mom gets a new car? A car symbol ensures consistency. What makes your visual supports much more durable? Our visual are made from non-toxic plastic. The images are printed directly onto the plastic, so they can't split like laminated card, & are waterproof. They won't rip or crease like cardstock, yet they are lightweight and semi-flexible for safety. What size are the board and symbols? Why are they this size? The board is A4 & the symbols are 4.5cm. An A4 board is great to either display or to carry around with you, and easily fits into most school bags. After much testing, the symbols are perfect for young hands to hold, yet large enough to easily see. How many symbols come with the board? The board comes with 32 common activity symbols, chosen in consultation with our customers. Because it uses hook and loop fasteners though, it is compatible with your existing PECs symbol library. Can this be customised? Unfortunately not, because the plastic printing process means symbols need to be mass produced. However, it comes with 32 pre-printed symbols that have been chosen in consultation with our customers, and symbol expansion packs are available.

The clear layout makes it easy for my child to understand what’s happening and when, reducing anxiety and helping transitions go smoothly. It’s sturdy, well-designed, and simple to customize with different activities. My son engages with it straight away, and it’s made a big difference in keeping our days structured and calm. Highly recommend for families looking for practical visual supports. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for autistic or deaf children *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 27 October 2018* Really good and wish I had known about it long time ago. My son understands know what will happen later and has less tantrums because of it. Lots of pics that are easy to use with the stickers and only thing that can improve it is if it could have a place on top so you can put the name on there as well as my son needs to see things with his name on and but other than that really happy how easy it is to use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Neat Day to Day Board *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 13 September 2025* Handy board to help children understand especially if they are non-verbal It would be handy to have more signs. This will probably help me, as my Son and his partner don't tell me much about how he is getting on at school. As all Autistic children are different, one just wants to help them survive in this different world around us. ## Frequently Bought Together - First Then Visual Schedule for Kids –Premium Durable Plastic –32 Communication Cards –Autism Learning Materials –Special Education Classroom (English) - Behavior Keyring Lanyard -ABA Therapy Materials -Premium Plastic Material -Special Education Classroom Supplies -Autism Learning Materials (English) - Kids Calendar Visual Schedule Autism – Premium Durable Plastic – Calendar Pocket Chart – Special Education Classroom Must Have – Autism Learning Materials (English) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/48285956-now-next-later](https://www.desertcart.at/products/48285956-now-next-later) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
