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.

  1. 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!
