Ordering a Custom Playground Communication Board

May is Better Hearing and Speech Month. It is the month for awareness of children who communicate differently. Three Rowlett residents, a mom and her two kids, are breaking communication barriers for children in their hometown. It is not everyday that a school playground gets a communication board donated. The story gets even better when you hear that two of the youngest donors previously attended the preschool program for children with disabilities at that school: Victor and Alice. Their mother, Barbara Fernandes, a speech-language pathologist, designed the picture symbols and the communication board itself. A communication board is a piece of equipment with a specific arrangement of picture symbols that assist with non-verbal communication by pointing to the pictures. Children who don’t speak through the use of speech or who have limited speech can use the communication board as a form of communication to express their needs in the playground. The communication board was donated to Liberty Grove Elementary school in Rowlett, Texas. Liberty Grove is one of the schools within the Garland Independent School Districts that currently has three self-contained classrooms with students from preschool to 5th grade.
