Prompt Education provide tools to help people with learning and communication difficulties, interact and communicate with others.  The use of visual tools is essential as 95% of people, with or without a disability use visual stimulation to navigate through life.

The use of Visual Aids by a child, or person with Autism, ADHD, Aspergers or other communication problems, can bridge the gap of speech, in other words, initially they learn to communicate in a common language of sight.  They can easily show you the basics they require, once this bridge is established, communication becomes easier.

Our hand made laminated cards show basic objects, such as toys, food, emotions, etc…using these in a repetitious way, will unlock their vocal and communication skills.

These visual aids have been very useful to me as a mother and other carers with children with learning disabilities

The use of sign language, visual aids, material objects and any other useful tools can help these visual learners.  Don't be closed minded with the advise given by specialists, often you will need to think outside the box with your little individual and do that little extra that helps them.

 

FaHCSIA Funding - Helping Children with Autism (Australia only).

The "Helping Children with Autism Package" is a Federal Government initiative that allows families with a child under the age of 6 to access up to $12,000 in early intervention services and/or resources over a 2 year period, ($6,000 per year).

Up to 35% of this funding can be used to purchase appropriate resources to enable a child to further its development ie: books, toys, PECS, etc.  (approx $2,100 per financial year).  This means that the resources provided by Prompt Education can be covered by this funding.

To apply for the funding simply contact your Early Intervention service provider and provide them with a list of products you wish to purchase from Prompt Education to assist your child.  Your Service Provider can then enter you into the FaHCSIA Online Funds Management System (FOFMS).
