Communication Cards

Cognitive dysfunction is one of the main symptoms of ME, and this can make communication difficult. If you sometimes can't remember the right word, can't follow what other people are saying, or have trouble speaking altogether, you may find these communication cards helpful.

The cards are colourful and light-hearted, with drawings of stick people in various situations. Most of them come with brief explanations, but some are blank for you to write in your own information or fill in your emergency contact details. They are laminated, and fit together on a keyring.

They're designed by Hannah Ensor, who has Hypermobility Syndrome, which causes similar communication problems. Hannah also sells other products, including information stickers for wheelchair users and blue badge holders.
