In 2023, 10 disabled young co-designers, YDAS, the Victorian Department of Education and Blend Creative worked together to help more disabled young students take part in Disability Inclusion Profile meetings.

We created a booklet to learn about the Disability Inclusion Profile (Profile) and prepare for the Profile meeting.

We also created communication cards to express thoughts and feelings.

Communication cards

How to use these communication cards:

  • You can print these out on an A4 piece of paper. You can cut them out or point to them.
  • You can also save them to a phone, tablet or computer and point to the screen.
  • These cards can help you express what you are thinking or feeling without the need to speak or if you are not sure of the right words to use.
  • If you use other types of communication cards, you can add these to what you use in your Profile meeting. We made these cards to be specific to the Profile meeting and things that might come up.

There are three formats available. Click the link to download the communication cards or print them from your device:
