OUISI FOR SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY

INTERACTIVE, CREATIVE, CONNECTED.

A JOYFUL TOOL FOR SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS

OuiSi makes sets of Visually Connecting Photo Cards – "this looks like that" – with a Guidebook full of games that ignite fun, creativity and curiosity.

But OuiSi is not just a game. It's a valuable tool for SLPs looking for creative ways to engage their clients and students in stress-free conversation.

WHY DOES OUISI WORK?

First and most important, OuiSi is fun! Regardless of age or background, Visual Connections are an intuitive yet intriguing way to play.

Second, unlike tools like Conversation Decks which can be intimidating for some people, OuiSi is naturally conversational – "oh what's that connection?" or "this tennis racket looks like a waffle." It's just easy to get talking without forcing anything.

Last, when something as simple as a creative observation ("this looks like that!") is received with curiosity, it creates a rapport amongst players.

START WITH VISUAL CONNECTIONS...

OuiSi Photo Cards "Visually Connect" based on shared patterns, shapes and colors. It's accessible yet fun and challenging for kids (4+) and adults alike. Each Photo Card has 10-20 matches, meaning thousands of Visual Connections in a box. You simply can't play the same game twice.

...THEN CHOOSE A WAY TO PLAY.

When you have the hang of Visual Connections, choose one of the 12 games and activities from the Guidebook. The fastest way to get going is to play OuiSinoes, a simple yet engaging (and visual) take on dominoes. It's the perfect way to break the ice for creative work, build rapport and have a shared, calming moment.

“As a Speech Language Pathologist, offering activities that are visual-only are critical for engagement, and for providing feelings of success for many of my clients! Family loved it too! Well done OuiSi!”

Martha B., M.Ed, SLP

“I ordered OuiSi to use with my husband who has Parkinson's. His speech therapist noticed it, borrowed it, and has ordered her own set to use with her patients.”

Joan S.

"I am a speech therapist working with autistic children in an elementary school. My fourth and fifth graders were so amazing at playing ouisi! Their visual perception taught me the various ways of looking at things! This game is already a fan-favorite! Thank you!"

Terese B.

"I’m a speech language pathologist and I am using this game to reinforce communication skills with my clients. We can target so many different goals including describing, understanding similarities and differences, naming attributes, and practicing articulation in a structured setting. We are all enjoying the beautiful photos and creativity this game inspires.”

Tracey G., MS, CCC-SLP

“I am a Special Operations Force Chaplain and I've used OuiSi as an ice breaker for many of the PTSD workshops I've led. It’s a beautifully simple game that has a big impact.”

FAQs

Do you take POs?

We certainly do take them, just email us at info@ouisi.co (not dotcom!) with your request. We simply ask that purchase orders have a minimum of 2 sets to help us offset the extra administrative work required.

Which version should I get?

All sets are playable standalone, or they can be combined.

OuiSi Original captures unexpected beauty in the "everyday," like the pattern of a crack in a sidewalk.

If players especially enjoy the element of surprise, they'll enjoy the subtlety of OuiSi Original.

OuiSi Nature is perfect for...nature lovers! We worked with 16 nature photographers from around the world, each with a unique environmental focus. Along with the novel QR codes, it's an incredible way to discover the beauty of our planet from home.

What other professions use OuiSI?

TEACHERS: In a nutshell, OuiSi has proven to be an excellent resource for teachers across disciplines, usable the entire school year. Find icebreakers, SEL opportunities, design-thinking exercises, storytelling and writing exercises, and more. Please visit our dedicated Teaching with OuiSi page.

DEMENTIA CAREGIVERS: OuiSi is not just a game, it's a valuable tool for individuals navigating dementia and mild cognitive impairments, offering an engaging, joyful and uncompetitive experience. Learn more on our Dementia Care Page.

THERAPISTS & COUNSELORS: OuiSi is conversational by nature. While many activities can be played in quiet and/or solo, games like OuiSinoes offer an opportunity to share what one literally sees. When that creative observation is received with curiosity by others, it creates a safe space for conversation. Whether you're a student counselor or anyone invested in verbal expression, OuiSi is a simple and effective tool.

OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS: OuiSi is an adaptable tool to help patients improve fine motor skills, cognitive flexibility, and social interaction. Whether working with children or adults, OuiSi's open-ended gameplay is easy to tailor for individual therapy goals, making every session engaging and effective. Visit our OT page for more.

OPTOMETRISTS: Admittedly, we never saw this one coming (pun intended)! OuiSi games, with their visually stimulating photo cards, offer a valuable tool for vision therapy. These games enhance visual processing, attention, and coordination by encouraging players to explore patterns, colors, and connections. For optometrists, OuiSi provides a playful yet effective method to engage patients in exercises that improve visual perception and cognitive skills, making therapy more interactive and enjoyable.

FACILITATORS: Sometimes a room full of adults can be a bit stiff. But OuiSi can break the ice with some bite-sized creative sharing. When teammates can share and be curious about basic creative ideas, it builds a rapport for greater collaboration.

What ages, and how many players?

Ages: when we say "made for ages 4 to 104," we mean it. Visual Connections tap into a unique and innate human intelligence. We don't get better at Visual Connections as we age...in fact, don't be surprised if the kids at the game table see connections that the adults don't.

Number of Players: OuiSi is VERY flexible in this way. It's enjoyable solo. It's a terrific for just two players. But you can also enjoy in larger groups, from 2 to 12. In fact, we know of groups as large as 25 who have used just one set (though we generally recommend the combo of OuiSi Original and OuiSi Nature for groups larger than 10).
