  • Communication boards are a type of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tool and serve as a visual aid to help children and adults with limited verbal communication skills.

  • With a communication board, a person can point to pictures or symbols and share what they need, make choices and express how they feel.

  • We aim to reduce barriers and ensure that every guest- regardless of age, ability or speaking skills - has the tools they need to connect with library staff, resources and services.
