Communicating needs & wants
Help and encourage children and young people to communicate their needs and wants using TomTag visual prompts and choice lists. Create reminders and prompts to help them understand what others want or need them to do.
TomTag visual supports use visual cues to encourage children and young people to show or verbalise what they want or need and help them understand what is being asked of them by others,
A TomTag FIRST NEXT THEN list is an effective strategy to encourage children to complete less preferred activities by using visual cues to help them understand what is happening next.
