Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are SEN communication cards?
SEN Communication Cards by 3D Milly are 3D-printed cards designed to help children and adults express their needs, feelings, or messages without pressure. They’re a simple, practical tool for visual communication, perfect for home, school, or busy everyday situations.
Who can use these cards?
Our cards are designed for children and adults who find verbal communication tricky, including those with SEN, autism, or non-verbal needs. They’re also great for teachers, carers, and parents looking for practical visual communication tools.
Where can I use the cards?
Anywhere! They’re small, portable, and easy to carry — clip them onto a bag, wear on a lanyard, or keep in a pocket. Perfect for school, home, shopping trips, or busy public spaces.
Can I customise my own card?
Absolutely! You can choose a word, pick a simple icon. This is perfect if you want something personal or need a card to cover a specific situation.
How do Emotion Cards help?
Emotion Cards let children and individuals show how they’re feeling quickly and clearly — whether happy, sad, angry, or worried. They make communication easier, reduce stress, and help adults understand what’s going on without needing lots of words.
Do you offer bundles or multi-card discounts?
Yes! You can mix and match 5 individual cards for £10.
Can SEN Communication Cards be used with PECS?
Yes! Our communication cards aren’t a PECS system, but they work perfectly alongside PECS. Many parents and teachers use them to complement existing tools for even clearer, more effective communication
Are your cards waterproof or chew-safe?
Our cards are made from PLA plastic, so they’re strong and water-resistant for everyday use. While they’re sturdy, they’re not meant to be chewed or put in the mouth, so we recommend supervising children who may mouth objects.
Are the cards made to order?
Yes! Every card is made-to-order in the UK by Milly herself after school. Depending on how many orders are in the queue, it can take up to 3 working days to prepare your cards.
How are the cards sent?
Once your order is ready, it’s sent via Royal Mail 48-hour service. You’ll get a notification when your cards are on the way.
