"I am blown away with every single detail...the soft colors, sweet voices, gentle illustrations, and powerful phrases."
I just received my First Phrases set today, and I wanted to reach out right away to let you know how much I LOVE this product you have created! I am blown away with every single detail...the soft colors, sweet voices, gentle illustrations, and powerful phrases for a wide range of communicative functions. I am a speech-language pathologist working in the schools for the last 17 years. I purchased these to help me support the students and families that I service in both the school and private setting, in addition to wanting to share them with my sister who is currently going through an autism evaluation process for her son. My 2 year old nephew is a Gestalt Language Processor and hyperlexic, and these cards seem created just for him!

How are these different than flashcards?These cards are not meant to be used as traditional flashcards and should never be used to drill phrases. We are here to provide a bridge to traditional thoughts and teaching methods and give parents and clinicians tangible action items that they can embrace to guide them in neurodiversity-affirming ways. Every parent and clinician want to feel like they are doing their best and many times will abandon child led play-based methods because they feel like they aren't doing it right or enough. These cards give adults a place to start.

Can parents use these?Yes! They are designed for clinicians and parents alike.
