Non-Verbal Office Communication Board<br />
<strong>The</strong> Office Communication board is for office personnel, playground supervisors,<br />
teachers, and teacher assistants to use when dealing with a non-verbal or<br />
extremely upset student who needs help. <strong>The</strong> board is secured to bristol board and<br />
laminated. When a student has a problem and the adult finds it difficult to<br />
understand the student, the adult can point to the questions while talking to the<br />
student and have the student communicate by pointing to the correct pictures. For<br />
example:<br />
Adult: “What happened?”<br />
Student points to ‘fall’<br />
Adult: “What’s wrong?”<br />
Student points to ‘bump on head’<br />
Adult: “What do you need?”<br />
Student: points to ‘ice cube’.<br />
