Conversations between verbal and non-verbal individuals can sometimes be difficult. Communication boards are designed to improve the communication process by providing simple, recognisable images and symbols to help people who may not be able to speak due to being non verbal, having a stroke or high anxiety in a stressful situation.
The Flagstaff Communicator App is designed to help people communicate. Point to the picture and begin your conversation. You can use the PDF here or download our Communicator App for Android/iOS here.
