[0001] The invention relates to a card intended for children or people with disabilities to choose their menu visually using photos in restaurants or any other organization.

[0002] The invention's primary objective is to give children or people with disabilities the opportunity to choose their menu on their own, without the help of a third person.

[0003] This will be a card in A5 closed / A4 open format or A4 closed / A3 open format (or any other dimensions) by which the child or person with a disability will choose, using movable elements going from point A to point B, the composition of his menu with the help of photos of the food offered by the restaurant.

[0004] The movable elements representing the food will be attached by means of Velcro, magnets or any other means allowing the connection of point A to point B.

[0005] The map will also include a color code to differentiate the location as simply as possible.

[0006] Example:

[0007] i. Drink = light blue ii. Dishes = pink iii. Side dishes = orange iv. Desserts = hard blue cheese

[0008] The elements will be arranged on one of the inner parts of the card, on the other inner part there will be, for example, plate + cutlery + glass with, for each, a colored dot associated with the color code corresponding to the elements.

[0009] The outside will have, on the front, an indication of the brand that initiated the printing of the card as well as that of the restaurant or organization and then, on the back, an explanation of the use of the card.
