Meal Time Communication Mat | AAC Visual Support for Meals and Eating

A communication mat is a simple but powerful visual tool that helps children with special educational needs express how they’re feeling, especially when they find it hard to use words. This mat focuses on helping children communicate meal time needs - with clear pictures and words they can point to.
 
It’s perfect for children who have limited verbal communication or who rely on non-verbal ways of expressing themselves, like gestures or facial expressions. By using this mat, children can share what they need or how they feel in a way that’s clear and stress-free.
 
For teachers, parents, and caregivers, a communication mat can make a big difference — reducing frustration, supporting understanding, and giving children a voice when they need it most.
