Care Sector Book
The Visual Book for the Care Sector
Communication difficulties are common within the Care Sector. Losing the ability to speak or understand is frightening and the frustration can lead to feelings of isolation.
vca have designed a book to help alleviate these problems. The book has been thoughtfully designed for easy use, in a laminated format that is simple to keep clean.
The book is divided into four easy to navigate sections with clear concise images of day to day life or common scenarios:
"I bought the visual communication aid for our nursing home to enable us to meet the needs of our residents with verbal communication problems.
The book is clear, bright and can be wiped clean which is extremely useful in our environment. I would recommend this book to anybody who works with people with communication problems, our residents with learning difficulties have found it particularly valuable."

How do I use this book?
There is a tick or a cross on the left page of each section to enable the user to express Yes or No to a question. By pointing discreetly at a picture it will help the user communicate their requirements.
There are two white boards to write your own messages and a wipe clean clock face. The alphabet and numbers from 1-20 have been added for your convenience.
At the back of the book is a section with numbered labels, to enable you to put a word under each image. We have also included a translation for 8 different European languages.
