Our customers say

“A great idea! The main benefit being the time-saving aspect. Everything is ready and no faffy laminating and Velcro! Really impressed.”

“They allow my 7-year-old to create, then to carry his visual timetable with him at school. It is the only visual he will use for school.”

“I’m able to wear the tag on my lanyard which is easily accessible in class and outside whilst enabling my children with autism to comprehend what they need to do.”

“TomTag saves busy education staff time, while also providing a practical yet likely desirable tool towards independence for children.” Alison Wilcox, Head of Education, NASEN
