What is in every pack
All the packs share the same shape: a short visual story about the situation, a step-by-step sequence, a first–then board showing what comes afterwards, support or break cards a child can point to instead of speaking, and a short guide for the adult. Each is 12 A4 pages and comes with a boy or girl character — the guidance is identical, only the character changes.
Read a pack online on a phone, tablet or computer, or download the PDF and print the pages that help. These are educational materials for preparing a child for a routine, not therapy or medical advice.
