Audience pathway

Healthcare

Healthcare experiences can contain unfamiliar steps, sensory pressure and communication demands. This pathway brings together visual stories that help patients and professionals prepare and understand what may be happening underneath distress.

How these resources can be used

Visual resources for dental teams, hospitals, clinics, healthcare professionals and patients navigating appointments, treatment and sensory pressure.

Preparing for appointments and changes

Use a visual sequence before an appointment or body change so the person knows what may happen.

Talking about sensory pressure

Use the story to identify sounds, touch, waiting and other demands that may feel difficult.

Supporting communication

Give patients and professionals a shared reference for feelings, needs and useful adjustments.
