About Us
Always Unique Totally Interesting Sometimes Mysterious
At Creative Visuals, we specialise in creating customised visual aids tailored for children with autism and special educational needs. Our communication resources, including picture books and token boards, are designed to foster understanding and improve engagement. These tools are essential for enhancing communication skills and reducing frustration in learners.
Every child on the spectrum has the potential to learn and thrive through the use of visual supports and the right tools. Our journey began when our family discovered that using real-photo exchange cards allowed our child to communicate effectively—either as a primary method or to supplement speech.
Research supports that photo-based communication provides a vital outlet for individuals who struggle with traditional verbal expression. By using these cards to initiate conversations and express their wants and needs, children can gain independence and confidence. This evidence-based approach is designed to help reduce frustration and related behaviors like tantrums or outbursts, fostering a calmer, more connected environment for children, parents, caregivers, and teachers.
Our goal is to teach children on the spectrum a fast, functional communication skill. The system starts with simple, concrete icons and evolves to help them build complex sentence structures, such as "I want an apple" or "I see the park." By integrating these tools into daily life, we aim to improve behavior and create a safer, more supportive world for everyone involved.
Satisfaction Guaranteed
Every item we offer is individually handmade and precision-cut to perfection. We are deeply committed to quality; if a product doesn't meet our 100% satisfaction standard, we remake it until it does.
We stand behind our work completely and are confident you will love our tools as much as we do.
Our Background
Founded in 2011 by a mother navigating her own child’s autism diagnosis, Creative Visuals was born from a mission to bridge the gap between frustration and communication.
After witnessing the life-changing impact that personalized visual aids—such as picture books, schedules, and token boards—had on her child's ability to express needs and reduce behavioral outbursts, she began crafting these tools for other families.
Today, we remain dedicated to helping children on the spectrum communicate with confidence, fostering independence and peace of mind for families, caregivers, and therapists alike.
We are here to help every voice be heard, and we hope these resources change your family's life just as they did ours.
____________________________________________
We believe that effective visual tools must be built to last. That is why all of our visual aids are individually handmade using premium, heavy-weight cardstock for bright, high-contrast imagery, and then sealed with heavy-duty, commercial-grade lamination and professionally designed to resist wear, tear, and moisture. To ensure they are perfect for everyone's hands, every card is finished with rounded safety corners, making them perfectly safe, highly durable, and easy to sanitize for daily use in homes, therapy clinics, and busy classrooms.

Verified Purchase Review
As a parent with a child on the autism spectrum, finding the right tools is essential. By age two, it was evident there were speech and language delays. We were introduced to the PECS system, but some of the abstract pictures had little to no meaning to my child. These real-life photo cards are vastly clearer to him!
The binder is incredibly sturdy and perfect for carrying around without being bulky or burdensome. The velcro is easy for little fingers to manage, and having items separated into clean categories makes choosing cards effortless. This is by far the most reasonable price for a communication book of this caliber—a massive asset for parents, teachers, and therapy offices alike. I highly recommend it to all my friends!
