It’s AAC Awareness Month! Have you seen the communication board ? This month we’re going to be highlighting our communication boards found around Marblehead and sharing some quick tips!
First we’ll start with answering our most common question -
🌟 “What’s a communication board?” 🌟
A communication board is a tool that helps children share and connect by using pictures and words that can be pointed to instead of (or along with) talking.
When you see one at a playground, library, or park, it’s there to make sure everyone can join in the fun! Whether a child uses words, gestures, or a device, communication boards help them ask for a turn, say “let’s play!”, or share how they feel.
They remind us that there are many ways to communicate and all of them are valid!
