Visual Communication Keyring (48 Icons) | NDIS Autism & Speech Aid

Keep communication close at hand with the Visual Symbol Communication Keyring. This ultra-portable, durable piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed to support NDIS participants with Autism (ASD), PDA, ADHD, or speech impairments who need to communicate on the go.

Meltdowns and anxiety often occur in transition moments—getting on the bus, going to the shops, or visiting the park—where carrying a large communication book or iPad is impractical. This keyring solves that problem. Featuring 48 essential picture words on durable plastic cards, it clips securely to a belt loop, lanyard, or backpack, ensuring the user always has a way to express immediate needs and feelings.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Community Access & Safety: By providing a portable "voice," it allows participants to access the community with confidence. They can communicate "Stop," "Toilet," or "Home" instantly, reducing the risk of unsafe behaviours during outings.

Reducing Frustration (Behaviour Support): Immediate access to communication tools is key to preventing behavioural escalations. This keyring bridges the gap when words fail, allowing the user to express distress or needs quickly.

Durable & Hygienic: Unlike laminated paper which can peel or get soggy, these cards are made from solid plastic. They are waterproof, tear-resistant, and easy to sanitize, making them ideal for messy play, mealtimes, or heavy daily use.

Customisable Routine: The sturdy binding ring can be opened, allowing parents or therapists to reorder the cards to suit the day's activities or remove symbols that aren't relevant, tailoring the tool to the individual's cognitive level.

Key Features & Benefits

48 Core Symbols: Covers the most common daily interactions and needs across 24 double-sided cards.
Pocket-Sized Portability: Measuring 7cm x 7cm (2.75"), the cards are large enough to see clearly but small enough to fit in a pocket.
Waterproof Plastic: Built to withstand spills, rain, and frequent handling, ensuring a long lifespan for the NDIS budget.
Openable Binding Ring: Allows for easy customisation of the card order or splitting the deck into smaller sets for different environments.
Versatile Design: Suitable for all ages, from toddlers learning to communicate to adults who require a discreet backup AAC tool.
