Communication Symbol Key Chains

Description

Our Communication Symbol Key Chains bring the power of visual communication into a compact, portable format that can be used anywhere – schools, play parks or any public or private venue. Designed to complement our full Communication Board system, these keychains group symbols by colour-coded category, making them easy to carry, quick to access and simple to sort through. They are perfectly suited for one-to-one support, classroom routines, pastoral work and on-the-go communication.

Crystal clear symbols, made to be used

Each key chain features a set of individual 6cm² polypropylene symbol cards, printed in our high-contrast black-and-white line-drawing style for maximum clarity and accessibility. Every card is durable, lightweight, wipe-clean, and designed to withstand daily handling in busy school environments. Cards are attached to a sturdy binder ring and finished with a snap-link clip, so they can be easily fastened to a lanyard, belt loop, bag or resource trolley for instant access.

Choose from a growing range of category packs, including Manners & Greetings, Feelings & Emotions, Actions & Commands, Body & Senses, People & Relationships, Questions & Answers, Directions & Movement and Times & Dates. Each category is colour-coded for easy recognition. Whether you’re supporting emotional regulation, facilitating choices, helping a non-speaker express their needs, or reinforcing vocabulary during learning activities, these keychains provide a clear, consistent visual toolkit that travels with you.

The symbols themselves are the same as those used on our full Communication Board, ensuring continuity across settings and reducing cognitive load for non-speakers who rely on predictable, familiar visual cues. This makes the key chains ideal for SEND practitioners, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists, lunchtime supervisors, pastoral teams and class teachers alike.

Compact, practical and thoughtfully designed, our Communication Symbol Key Chains help people communicate confidently — in the playground, the dining hall, on school trips, during transitions, at home or anywhere they might need a little extra support. They empower non-speakers to express themselves, reduce frustration, and encourage positive, inclusive interactions throughout the day.

Portable communication support, always within reach — because every voice deserves to be heard.

No subscription!

We don’t charge any form of subscription for the use of our symbols. The products you buy from us are a one-time-payment only.
