Zedie and Zoola's Playful Universe: An Inclusive Playtime Resource Which Lifts Communication Barrier

Playtime is essential for children-s wellbeing and provides key opportunities to make friends. Yet for some children, unstructured play can present real challenges.

This original resource provides ideas and tools to support children aged 6-9 with communication conditions as they socialise with their peers. The set includes:

• Zedie & Zoola-s Playtime Cards - a pack of 25 cards containing ideas for fun playground games that encourage children with different communication styles to play together.
• Zedie & Zoola Light Up the Night - a beautifully illustrated storybook, which draws on themes relating to friendships, neurodiversity, participation, and advocacy.
• Zedie & Zoola-s Playful Universe - an evidence-based guide offering additional advice for adults to use the cards effectively, with helpful contextual information to assist in making playtimes more accessible.
