"The large format cards create an impact and lend themselves to groupwork. They depict real life, fascinate, and evoke thought and laughter. ... While especially valuable for school-aged children with speech, language and communication needs, this resource would serve other client groups well, and extend non-verbal communication in those with limited expressive language." Speech & Language Therapy in Practice
"A very relevant resource that would be used throughout the school across all age phases." Teacher
"Ideal to use with a wide range of children, including those with pragmatic disorders and those needing to improve receptive language and communication skills." Nursery Education
