ESC REGION 4 CLASSROOM COMMUNICATION BOARDS
ESC Region 4 has created a simplified one-page, two-sided version of their classroom communication board available free for download to support teachers and parents. It is composed of more than 100 foundational academic vocabulary words and the alphabet for use as a low-tech augmentative alternative communication (AAC) tool to promote communication with nonverbal and emerging communicators in academic settings.
Although not as robust, it complements ESC Region 4's classroom communication board and is a great way to get students started. Take a look using the links below!
