Custom Communication Cards

Item Description

Support clear, compassionate care with our Custom Communication Cards, specially designed to assist EMS professionals, healthcare providers, educators, and caregivers in communicating effectively with individuals on the autism spectrum and those with other communication challenges.

These durable, easy-to-use cards feature simple words and intuitive visuals to help bridge the gap between patient and provider when verbal communication is limited or overwhelming.

🌟 Key Features:

• Visual & Text-Based Communication

Each card includes a high-contrast image paired with clear, simplified language to represent essential concepts such as feelings (e.g., scared, in pain, happy, sad), basic needs (e.g., thirsty, tired, bathroom), and EMS actions (e.g., blood pressure check, oxygen, IV, etc).

• Healthcare-Focused Icons

Includes visual aids for common EMS interventions (e.g., stretcher, IV, cardiac monitor) and hospital settings (e.g., emergency room, waiting room, nurse, doctor) to reduce confusion and anxiety during medical interactions.

• Customizable to Your Service or Region

Tailor the cards to your specific city, EMS agency, and/or hospital options—include logos, local hospital names, familiar vehicles, uniforms, or language variations (e.g., paramedic vs. ambulance officer). We work with your service to make the cards as relevant and comforting as possible for your community. (example featuring Medic EMS of Scott County)

• Portable & Durable

Printed on laminated, wipe-clean cardstock or waterproof plastic, the cards are designed for quick and easy use in ambulances, ERs, and on scene. The flipbook format allows for quick flipping and intuitive interaction.

• Multi-Purpose

Ideal for emergency response, special education, speech therapy, schools, and home use—anywhere communication clarity is key.
