AAC + PECS Communication Bundle
The AAC + PECS Communication Bundle is a gentle, accessible communication system created for neurodivergent learners who benefit from clear, predictable, low‑stim visuals. With 86 icons and communication supports, this bundle helps children express needs, feelings, preferences, and requests — without overwhelm or pressure.
Designed with soft colors, simple layouts, and trauma‑informed language, these visuals support AAC users, emerging communicators, and mixed‑modal communicators (gestures, pointing, verbal + visual). Perfect for classrooms, therapy rooms, early childhood settings, and home environments.
This bundle strengthens autonomy, reduces frustration, and supports emotional safety through predictable, ND‑affirming communication tools.
