Description
Give every pupil a clear, confident voice with our brand-new Communication Board, designed to support inclusive communication across your entire school or organisation’s community. The board offers a beautifully simple, intuitive way for non-speaking children and adults to express their needs, feelings, choices and ideas — wherever they are on their communication journey.
Featuring 50 carefully selected, categorised symbols, each illustrated in our clean, high-contrast black-and-white line style, the board is designed to be instantly recognisable, easy to understand and accessible to people of all ages and abilities. Categories include Manners & Greetings, People & Relationships, Body & Senses, Times & Dates, Directions & Movements, Actions & Commands, Feelings & Emotions, Questions & Answers — offering a broad, balanced vocabulary they can rely on in real situations. Every category is colour-coded for easy navigation.
Every symbol has been created to feel friendly, inclusive and non-stigmatizing, using consistent figure design and gestures that resonate with pupils who use AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), EAL learners, neurodiverse children, and anyone who benefits from visual communication support.
The board itself is printed on durable, wipe-clean, weather-resistant material, making it suitable for playgrounds, classrooms, corridors, nurture rooms, canteens, SEND bases, entrances and any other space where communication matters. It can be used for individual interactions, whole-class routines, emotional check-ins, playtime support, or simply as a reliable tool to reduce frustration and boost confidence.
By providing this shared, universally understood visual language, schools can create calmer environments, encourage positive social interaction, and ensure every child is able to participate fully — whether they’re asking for help, sharing how they feel, or joining in with their friends.
Give your pupils the tools they need to connect, express themselves and thrive — with a Communication Board designed for real inclusion, every single day.
