I DON'T KNOW: Visual Communication Cards

I DON'T KNOW is a visual communication toolkit designed to help children communicate uncertainty, ask questions, request clarification, and express what they need when words are difficult.

The cards provide simple visual ways to communicate when a child does not know an answer, does not understand, needs more information, needs an example, wants something repeated, or needs time to think.
