Communication Board
Hello All,
Just a quick little blog post today because so many of you asked for a way to download our communication board that we bring to events. What’s a communication board? Well it’s a form of visual communication that can be used in home, school or community settings. This is obviously a low tech version of what is an ever increasing amount of high tech apps and/or portable physical devices that help autistic and other low verbal or non-verbal individuasl communicate more effectively.
This is a very basic communication board communicating emotions, wants and needs. The icons are large for those who might struggle with precise movement. We also included a number pad and alphabet so an individual could communicate more elaborate thoughts as well. This board fits nicely on letter size paper - front and back. We laminate ours so it’s reusuable and stay nice. Scroll down for some photos and click download button below to get a copy for your personal use for FREE!
We recommend that you work with either a Speech Therapist or another trained professional that provides Augmentative and Alternative Communication Device services to help you determine the best fit for your autistic loved one. This is not a one size fits all type of purchase and there are A LOT of different options available. The cost of these items can vary widely as well. Some devices can be covered by insurance and the provider will help you navigate those steps if needed. If you need a list of providers, feel free to reach out to us. We’re happy to help!
