A communication board is a printed or digital board with pictures, symbols, or words on it. Communication boards can even be installed on playgrounds or other public places. You can also create your own communication board with photographs or clip art images. When a child wants to say something, they can point to the pictures or symbols on the board to show what they mean. For example, if they want to say, "I'm hungry," they can point to a picture of food. It allows them to express their thoughts, needs, and feelings to others, even if they can't say the words out loud. Communication boards help people to be understood and participate in conversations, making it easier for them to communicate with the people around them.
