A neuroaffirmative visual support pack for Autistic and neurodivergent children
Preparing for First Holy Communion can involve unfamiliar routines, sensory demands, social expectations, and uncertainty. For Autistic and neurodivergent children, these factors can significantly impact comfort, understanding, and participation.
This 51 page First Holy Communion Visual Support Pack includes two Social Visual Guides and two Visual Schedules, designed to provide clarity, predictability, and reassurance before and during the Communion experience.
Developed by Flourish Autism Consultancy & Training Team.
This downloadable resource includes:
Two Social Visual Guides
One guide focused on understanding First Holy Communion and receiving Communion by mouth
One guide focused on understanding First Holy Communion and receiving Communion by hand
Step-by-step explanations using clear visuals and literal, supportive language
Two Visual Schedules
A Communion experience visual schedule (By Hand)
A Communion experience visual schedule (By Mouth)
Each resource can be used independently or together, depending on the child’s needs and the family’s preparation approach.
Understanding what will happen before, during, and after First Holy Communion
Reducing uncertainty by making routines explicit and predictable
Supporting Autistic children who process information visually
Preparing at home, revisiting over time, and supporting recall on the day

These resources focus on supporting understanding, not managing behaviour or enforcing participation.
