Build Your Own Tactile Tile Set | Custom 12 Tile Pack for SEND, AAC & VI

Create a Set That Fits Your Learner Perfectly

Our Build Your Own Tactile Tile Set lets you choose any 12 tactile communication tiles from our growing range of 400+ symbols.

Perfect for families, schools and professionals who need specific symbols rather than a pre-made set.

Ideal for children and adults with SEND, autism, speech and language needs, AAC users and learners with visual impairment (VI).

Not Sure Where to Start?

Most people build their first set around one core area of their learner's daily life. Here are the most common starting points:

• Transitions and school routines — tiles covering lessons, break, lunch, home time and key school activities help learners understand and move through the day with less anxiety. A great first set for any school environment.
• Emotions and regulation — tiles for feelings, calm strategies and check-ins. Well suited to calm corners, nurture rooms or any learner who struggles to communicate how they feel.
• Food and mealtime choices — one of the most motivating starting points. Giving a learner the ability to choose their snack or communicate food preferences builds confidence quickly and reduces frustration at mealtimes.
• Favourite toys, activities and rewards — tiles based on a learner's own interests are highly motivating and a natural way into a communication system. Think preferred games, TV characters, outdoor activities or sensory items.
• Morning and bedtime routines — consistent visual and tactile support at home for getting dressed, brushing teeth, bath time and sleep routines.

Browse our ready-made sets if you'd prefer a curated starting point, or explore by need to find the right fit. If you're still unsure, just get in touch — we're happy to suggest a tile list based on your learner.
