AAC Communication Boards for Nonverbal Communication, PECS, & Choice Boards w/ Core

Product Description

AAC communication boards can be a game changer in classrooms supporting students with autism and other communication needs. This set was designed for special educators and SLPs who need ready-to-use, symbol-rich boards that make it easier for students to request, comment, and interact. With clear visuals and simple layouts including core vocabulary, these boards are easy to implement and built to support meaningful communication throughout the day.

Whether your students have their own devices, use pictures or are verbal, these AAC communication boards help to environmentally engineer your classroom for communication.  Have the communication tools you need for classroom activities and fill in the gaps between individual AAC devices and core vocabulary or between core boards and the need for activity-specific vocabulary.

Features of these AAC communication boards:

• Consistent placement of repeating core vocabulary such as yes, no, bathroom, I’m all done, help, I want and I see. (for specifics see preview)
• Multiple functions of language (e.g., verbs, nouns, comment phrases)
• 5 Noun-based choice boards support a lower level of skill or to be used in combination with communication boards
• Print different sizes for different needs (portable, stationary)
• 4 different backgrounds to match your classroom
• Designed to coordinate with my visual support bundles in my TPT store
• White / blank background to conserve ink
• Blank grid for each background allows you to make your own boards
• Use as point boards or exchange boards

These AAC communication boards are PERFECT for special education teachers or SLPs working with students with autism or other AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) needs.

They are specifically designed to help your students move beyond just making requests. Your students will use these AAC communication boards to learn to talk about their own actions, make comments and begin conversation. They give you activity-specific vocabulary and core vocabulary that is carried through all the activities.

Using these augmentative communication boards is easy! You can print out the boards and use them as point cards or picture exchange boards. These can then be displayed in the corresponding area of the room. Additionally, students can use these AAC boards on their own devices.
