The Power of Custom Communication Tools for Autistic and Non-Verbal Children. Because every child deserves a way to be understood.

In the world of special educational needs (SEN), we know one truth above all else: every child is different. From how they learn to how they communicate, there’s no single approach that works for everyone, especially when it comes to supporting autistic, non-verbal, or minimally verbal children.

That’s why custom communication tools aren’t just helpful, they’re essential.

Why Personalised Visual Supports Matter

Many families and educators start with standard visual supports and communication aids, and while they can be useful, they don’t always meet the specific, real-world needs of the child in front of you.

Here’s the thing: communication isn’t just about speech. It’s about connection, expression, and autonomy. And sometimes, one small, specific visual cue can be life-changing for a child who’s trying to tell you something, on their terms.

Maybe your child needs a tag that says:

• “Too loud”

• “I need help”

• “Nana’s house”

• “I’m feeling unwell”

Generic sets don’t often include these. But that’s where custom-made communication tags come in.

Designed With Real Needs in Mind

At SEN Talk Tags, every single product was inspired by a real-life need, starting with my own son. When I couldn’t find the visual supports that worked for him, I began 3D-printing our own. Before long, other parents and professionals started reaching out, looking for tools that reflected their children’s actual experiences.

That’s how our “Build Your Own Set” and fully custom visual tag options were born. You tell me what your child needs to say, and I’ll help bring that voice to life, visually, accessibly, and in a way that works with your routine.

These tags are:

• Durable and 3D-printed for everyday use

• Customisable with your child’s exact words or phrases

• Created to support AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) strategies

• Ideal for home, school, therapy, or on-the-go use

Empowering Communication, One Tag at a Time

Whether your child is autistic, non-verbal, preverbal, or just needs help navigating emotions and routines, the right visual support can give them more control, more confidence, and more independence.
