Visual Cue Cards – improve attention and listening skills

Visual cue cards and picture strips are an essential strategy offered by many Speech and Language Therapists working in a school setting.

Children with speech and language disorders, and/or learning difficulties frequently exhibit poor organisational skills, limited ability to sequence, a lack of awareness of time and poor memory. Visual cues are therefore, a vital tool to support these children in their daily routine.

All cards can be coloured and laminated to increase durability.

The individual cue cards can be presented in a variety of ways. Examples:- a photograph ‘flip’ wallet a hole punched into the corner of each card and placed on a key ring. Pictures may be enlarged or reduced in size to suit the individual child.
