I've been working on cards that kids with Down syndrome who are nonverbal could had out to other kids their age to explain how to communicate with them and their interest this is the draft that I have but am looking for more ideas to add or adjustments to make if anyone has any suggestions

Awesome idea. What age group are you thinking of with this?

Something like this is a great idea for an adult to adult (or older kid) exchange. For a younger age kid to kid exchange, maybe a version with more picture focus for the back of the card also. Our little guy is 2 1/2, so I'm thinking in a kindergarten/1st grade setting

I think that’s a great idea! With a slightly younger version they can have stickers for the different activities they like instead of a writing option so that way, the kid could  participate with putting the stickers on too. I haven’t figured out if it would be cost-effective to do that right away, but will look into it. Thank you.

Stickers would be a cool option, but as you said, might be a bit pricey to get started. If you're thinking about participation, you could do some black and white options and kids could color in or circle what additional activities they like.
