The Origin of Handy Lingual's Adult Communication Cards
In the heart of Handy Lingual lies a story of innovation sparked by empathy and the desire for inclusivity.
The journey began with a disheartening realisation brought to light by an Autistic adult disability support client. They expressed frustration with the available communication resources, noting that the market predominantly catered to children with basic, often childlike, imagery. This poignant revelation became the catalyst for change.
In response to this unmet need, we at Handy Lingual decided to leverage our graphic design skills to bridge the gap. Recognising the unique communication requirements of Autistic adults, we embarked on a mission to create a suite of adult-friendly communication cards. Our goal was clear: to empower individuals with tools that resonated with their identity and addressed the gap in resources tailored to their needs.
The creative process involved thoughtful consideration of visual elements, colour schemes, and symbols that would be both engaging and suitable for an adult audience. The result was a collection of adult communication cards that not only met the functional requirements but also reflected the diverse preferences and styles of the individuals we aimed to serve. Each card became a testament to our commitment to inclusivity and a recognition that communication knows no age limit.
The journey of Handy Lingual's adult communication cards is not just about designing tools; it's about acknowledging the importance of representation and ensuring that everyone, regardless of age, feels seen and heard.
Through this origin story, we invite you to witness the transformative power of empathy, creativity, and a dedication to crafting inclusivity in the realm of communication resources.
