These easy-to-use boards feature a grid of symbols or pictures that represent common words, actions, and needs. Children can point to the icons to express themselves when verbal speech is difficult. Whether it's requesting a snack, asking for help, or sharing an idea, communication boards give students a consistent, visual way to be heard and understood. 

These visuals break down everyday tasks—like brushing teeth, washing hands, or taking a shower—into clear, simple steps using pictures and words. By showing what to do in order, they help children build independence and reduce anxiety during routines. They're perfect for home and school use to support life skills and transitions. 

Tools like Token Boards and I Am Working For Boards, and visual rules help children navigate their day with more confidence and fewer frustrations. These supports make expectations clear, provide structure, and offer options when a child feels overwhelmed. They’re especially helpful in preventing meltdowns and encouraging positive behavior in a calm, visual way.
