The Medical Communication Book with removable visual aid cards.

When someone you care for is unwell or in pain but struggles to communicate verbally, clear understanding can be difficult—especially in medical or emergency settings. The Medical Communication Book is designed to support effective, stress-reducing communication between patients and medical professionals.

This practical communication aid gives a voice to individuals who struggle with spoken language, while also helping them understand information being shared with them by healthcare staff. It supports both expressive communication (communicating needs, feelings, and symptoms) and receptive communication (understanding instructions and reassurance).

Designed for Medical Environments

The book includes 62 removable visual symbol cards, attached using VELCRO Brand hook and loop, allowing symbols to be easily repositioned to suit the situation. This flexibility enables quick, relevant communication during appointments, hospital stays, or emergencies.

The book supports communication around:

  • How the patient is feeling
  • Where pain or discomfort is located and its intensity
  • Needs such as rest, food, help, or medication
  • Information communicated by medical professionals

Included in the book:

Communicate problem

A chance for a patient to communicate their medical need.

Communication to the patient

A chance for a medical professional to communicate to the patient, and have them understand what is being said.

Feelings

Supporting expressive communication, a patient has the chance to communicate their feelings.

Reduces anxiety and brings calm.

Our Medical Communication Book is great for supporting anyone for whom spoken language is a challenge, for whatever reason. It gives a voice to the patient, and offers them the opportunity to understand what is being communicated to them.

Featuring The Beanies

You will find our lovable characters, The Beanies, throughout the artwork in our Visual Planner, representing all different aspects of life. They are designed to be gender neutral and age neutral so that as many individuals can identify with them as possible.


Your loved one may benefit from visuals if:

  • they ask what’s coming next over and over again.
  • they struggle to remember instructions spoken out loud to them.
  • they become anxious when they are in a different environment or the routine is different.
  • they struggle with transitioning from one activity to the next.
  • they get frustrated because they can't communicate to you.

Why Use Visuals?

When someone knows what is happening in their day they feel more calm and in control. Visuals are an effective way of communicating to someone what is happening because they:

  • don't disappear like words do
  • have no tone of voice
  • allow for processing time
  • are universal across all languages
  • can be transferred from place to place
  • give someone a voice, allowing them to communicate with you
  • support routine and transition

We offer a range of visual resources to enhance communication and learning:
