Communication boards are an excellent resource to facilitate communication for people with speech and language deficits. Children and adults who have complex communication needs can use these boards to express their wants and needs. Printable boards can be used to augment communication in case the user has partial speech or as an alternative mode of communication for those who are non-verbal or minimally verbal.

People with communication challenges due to Autism, Apraxia, Aphasia, stroke, can use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) boards to communicate to their loved ones and during social interactions. Even AAC users who use robust high tech AAC systems can use low tech boards in physical environments where high tech AAC use may not be feasible.
Here’s a great example of how to use printable low tech boards to encourage AAC use. Hang AAC board with food vocabulary near the refrigerator or dining table so that the communicator can request the food they’d like to have. Once the AAC user gets familiar with the vocabulary on the low tech board, they can use the same on their high tech AAC systems too.

Yes, Shannon! Light tech boards are a great way to ensure learners have access to communication at all time. And with Avaz AAC app, you can customize a board quickly and print it with just a few taps
This low tech communication board looks like a fantastic resource! I especially appreciate how customizable it is, and that it can be used to help students with communication challenges. The playground equipment is a great addition too, as it provides sensory-based activities that can help students engage in the learning process. Thanks for the great resource!
