• Prepares Children for an Unfamiliar Experience: Turns a haircut, one of the most common sensory triggers for children, into a predictable sequence they can see and understand before they ever sit in the chair
• Reduces Anxiety Before and During the Visit: Clear step-by-step visual symbols explain exactly what will happen, from walking in to sitting down to the sound of scissors or clippers, so there are fewer surprises to trigger distress
• Supports Nonverbal and Speech-Delayed Children: Gives children who cannot easily ask what happens next a visual answer they can check themselves, without needing to process or respond to spoken explanations mid-appointment
• A Social Story Parents Can Use at Home First: Works best introduced before the appointment, so children can look through the sequence calmly at home and arrive at the barber already familiar with what to expect
• Pocket-Sized for the Appointment Itself: At 125mm tall and 45mm wide, it travels easily in a pocket or bag, so the same visual reference is available in the waiting area and in the chair, not just at home beforehand
• Double-Laminated Card Built to Last: Sturdy laminated card construction withstands repeated handling at home, in therapy sessions, or in the classroom, wiping clean easily after use
• Part of the Play Doctors Routines and Transitions Range: Sits alongside other Play Doctors visual routine fans, giving families a consistent approach to preparing children for new experiences and everyday transitions

All fans are available with a popper, keyring or on a lanyard.
