What Are SEN Talk Tags? How Visual Tags Help Children Communicate Clearly

If you’ve ever searched for SEN Talk Tags, autism tags, or even wheelchair name tags - you’re not alone.

More and more families, carers, and teachers are discovering the power of visual communication tools. At SEN Talk Tags, we design bright, easy-to-understand tags that support non-verbal communication, emotional regulation, and independence - especially for autistic children or those with additional needs.

Let’s explore what they are, how they help, and how to get started.

What Are SEN Talk Tags?

SEN Talk Tags are durable, 3D-printed visual communication tags designed for children who benefit from clear, consistent visuals. They help children express needs, understand routines, and feel more confident in day-to-day situations.

Each tag features a bold icon or phrase like "Toilet", "Help", or "Wait and My Turn". Children can clip them to a bag, lanyard, or wheelchair or keep them in a visual sequence on a keyring.

Why Are Visual Tags So Helpful?

For many children with:

Autism

ADHD

Speech and language delays

Learning disabilities

...words can be hard but images and symbols make sense.

 

Visual tags:

Reduce anxiety and meltdowns by setting expectations

Help children feel understood without needing to speak

Offer independence and control

Support transitions, toileting, mealtimes, and public outings

 

Some of our most searched-for tags include:

Emotion Tags - like “Happy”, “Sad”, “Overwhelmed”

Wheelchair Name Tags - to personalise and empower

Custom-Made Communication - like our ID tags 

 

These aren't just plastic tags - they’re tools for confidence, connection, and calm.

Real-Life Examples from Families Like Yours

“My daughter uses her ‘Toilet’ tag every single day. She finally feels confident telling us when she needs to go, even when we’re out and about.”

“The ‘Help’ and ‘Sensory Brake’ tags have changed everything for our son. He no longer struggles to express when he’s overwhelmed.”

“We added a wheelchair name tag that says 'I’m non-verbal, please speak to my carer’  and it’s been brilliant in busy places.”

These stories are why we do what we do.
