Playground Communication Board

Project Title:  Playground Communication Board
Teacher: Renae Christenson
School:  Voyager Elementary School
Students Impacted:  20 students in grades PreK-5
Amount Funded: $1,629

A post-mounted communication board on the playground at VES would allow students to have effective and efficient communication access while outside. Several students at VES use a speech-generating AAC device to communicate. Communication on the playground and outside can become difficult for students who use these devices for various reasons, such as inclement weather and ease of transporting. These factors can cause students to be unable to communicate effectively when on the playground. In addition to these students, several other students would benefit from a playground post-mounted communication board. This includes students with difficulty communicating while dysregulated, students with limited communication skills, and students who are English language learners.
