AAC Card Maker
This tool prints picture exchange cards in a range of styles and sizes. Card pictures can be added via a Web Image Search or by using your own images and symbols. For best results use multiple keywords when searching - eg 'cat playing with wool' or 'Tesco Supermarket in Romford" etc
Strict Safety filters are on and minimise the risk of inappropriate images being located with Image Search, but please report problem images if a lewd or inappropriate image slips though the filter.
