Picture Communication Cards
$3.49 Can$3.84
Use custom picture communication cards to act as a critical communication bridge for someone who isn't able to speak to you in a way that you understand.
It's only natural to wonder what goes on during the day when you're child is in school or in daycare. And if you're child can't tell you for themselves, it only adds to the anxiety.
This parent-teacher communication is designed to ease that anxiety for parents and provide an easy documentation tool for teachers and day care staff. The key daily questions are pre-listed - no worries about forgetting to ask important questions. There is also a specific spot to quickly highlight reminders - important information won't be lost in the chaos. And every day there is room to record all of the special moments, and goings-on of the day. You will also find it useful to ask questions of people that you may not see due to scheduling conflict.
At the back, there are additional sections to track library books or other items borrowed from school, and a separate log of items sent from home to the school. No more wondering whether you remembered to send diapers, or where the red shirt ended up!
The communication book is coil bound, allowing you to lay it flat while writing, and at 5x8.5 inches, it is small enough to fit into a knapsack comfortably.
If you like, you can even personalize the communication book with the name and photo of your child on the cover and each page of the book. Teachers will really appreciate that! And kids love knowing which book belongs to them.

ID stickers
$7.95 Can$8.75
Did you ever wish you had an easy way to find your kids knapsack in a pile? Or better yet, that they could find their own, even if they don't know how to read?
Here's one great solution - photo ID stickers! These postage stamp size stickers are ideal for putting on just about any piece of equipment your child owns.
If you have a child with special needs, this can be especially invaluable. There are kids who can't speak for themselves, or need an extra bit of information to be able to process decisions more quickly.
But the surprise benefit also goes to everyone else who is dealing with the kids 'stuff' - teachers, bus drivers, babysitters and helpers of every shape and size. We all understand photos quicker than words, and for all of the helpers who don't even know the kids names to begin with, having a photo reference is ideal.

Medication Log for caregivers
$19.95 Can$21.95
Are you responsible for giving medication to someone? Then this medication log is just what you need. It is designed to work in either a family setting or an outside organization (such as a school), and can easily be transferred between the two.
Even more importantly, if there is ever an emergency, you’ll be able to respond quickly and accurately to the paramedic’s questions. Medication history and details are among the first things that emergency medical staff absolutely needs to know - what medication, how much, what dosage, when it was taken most recently and who administered it. It is a huge relief to know that all you need to do is pick up your medication log and hand it to them. And of course, it’s also an easy way to track medication history for medical staff in a non-emergency situation too.
The medication record for the entire month will be on one page, along with other critical medication info. Each medication log order provides over 40 medication log sheets in a coil-bound book, with movable monthly tabs to allow you to easily customize the medication log for your situation. br>
You can also personalize your medication log with a photo and / or name pre-printed on each medication log sheet. This is often useful for people with any kind of vision or language problem. It can be especially important when you are tracking medication for several people in the same location. Avoid mistakes by checking the photo on each medication log sheet.
Keeping track of medication is probably the most important record keeping you will ever do. Let us help you do it well, and do it easily.
