TALKCARD’S STORY
As a mother, I was looking for a way to understand my daughter without putting pressure on her.
TalkCard grew from our everyday experience: from those moments when I knew my daughter had something to communicate, but found it difficult to express it out loud.
That is how I began creating cards and visual tools that could help her show her needs, emotions and boundaries. They are the tools I wish I’d had back then: practical, respectful and easy to use.
