People searching for free printable Widgit symbols usually need quick visual supports for routines, choices, feelings, or communication. The important distinction is that Widgit Symbols are a proprietary symbol system. Widgit’s own copyright terms say its symbols and resource content are protected, including resources downloaded at no charge. For that reason, this page does not copy or redistribute Widgit artwork.
Instead, the three sheets below are independently drawn visual-support cards. They can help with simple everyday communication, but they are not Widgit Symbols and are not a substitute for a licensed symbol library chosen by a school, speech-language professional, or care team.
Three original visual-support sheets
Everyday visual communication cards
Feelings and regulation cards
Blank customizable visual cards
How to use visual cards
Start with only the cards a person actually needs. Introduce one meaning at a time, use the same wording consistently, and keep cards within easy reach. A blank sheet is included because familiar photographs or personally meaningful words may work better than generic icons.
Accessibility considerations
- Use high contrast and uncluttered layouts.
- Do not assume every icon has the same meaning for every person.
- Pair the symbol with speech, gesture, or text when helpful.
- Ask the user and their support team which communication system is already established.
Official Widgit resources
If you specifically require Widgit Symbols, use Widgit’s licensed products or its official resource library. Their publishing guidance explains when permission, acknowledgement, or licensing may be required.
FAQ
