Description
AAC Visual Communication | Digital Download. Support sensory needs and emotional expression with this Sensory Communication Board, designed for non-verbal and limited verbal children, teens, and adults. This board helps individuals clearly communicate sensory preferences, discomforts, needs, and reactions—an essential tool for preventing meltdowns, reducing frustration, and building self-advocacy skills.
Created by a parent of a child with autism, this resource is thoughtfully designed using clear, highly recognizable visuals that are easy to understand and use across different environments such as home, school, therapy, and community.
This board can be used alone or paired with sign language, verbal speech, or an AAC device. It’s also a great introduction to functional communication for children working on sensory awareness and emotional regulation.
