Widgit Supporting Communication with Widgit Symbols
At The Play Doctors, we believe everyone should have the opportunity to understand, communicate and express themselves with greater independence. That is why we use Widgit Symbols across many of our products, creating practical resources that make information clearer, more accessible and easier to use.
About Widgit
Widgit is a pioneering software company with a passion for symbol-based communication. Its widely recognised symbols help people understand words, instructions, choices, routines and emotions by presenting information in a clear and visual way.
Widgit Symbols support people of all ages with a range of communication needs, including autistic people and those with learning disabilities or speech and language difficulties. They are also valuable tools for educators, therapists, families and caregivers working to create more inclusive and supportive environments.
Our collaboration with Widgit
The Play Doctors has enjoyed a long-standing collaboration with Widgit, built around our shared commitment to breaking down communication barriers. By incorporating Widgit Symbols into our thoughtfully designed products, we combine trusted visual communication with practical resources made for everyday situations.
From supporting routines and transitions to expressing emotions, making choices and understanding expectations, our products are designed to help individuals communicate more confidently at home, in education, in care settings and throughout the wider community.
Our experience enables us to use symbols purposefully, ensuring they complement the language, layout and function of each resource. The result is an accessible and easy-to-understand product that supports meaningful communication, encourages independence and helps every individual feel heard and included.
We are proud to continue working alongside the Widgit brand and to bring the benefits of symbol-based communication to the children, young people, families and professionals who use our resources.
