Communication Counts

These activity cards support children and adults who communicate in their own ways, at their own pace.

Every attempt to connect matters. The cards make room for communication through:

  • Movements and body language

  • Looks, sounds, and gestures

  • Communication devices and signs

  • Spoken words and shared actions

Use them to notice responses, offer choices, and build meaningful moments together.
