Description

TomTag is a flexible visual support and communication tool that can be used to create personalised visual timetables, schedules, prompts and checklists helping children with daily routines or situations they find difficult by providing them with structure, predictability and reassurance– at home, at school and when out and about.

With the Christmas Survival Toolkit, you can create personalised visual timelines and prompts to help your child prepare for Christmas and other celebrations.

This versatile kit helps reduce a child’s anxiety about what to expect and helps them to understand and manage these sensory, emotional and busy times of the year.

Everything’s ready to go with TomTag’s colourful, sturdy tags, click-in buttons and symbol stickers. All you need to do is personalise it – just pick, stick, click and off you go. Most children love stickers so let them join in the fun! Helping set them up will encourage them to use it too!
