You Choose – Communication Cards

This resource is born out of a passion to get people talking.

You Choose! – Communication Cards encourages people to chat about themselves and what they like, building up their confidence, self-esteem and a sense of personal identity. It’s also a chance for listening, questioning and social interaction.
