Frequently Asked Questions
- Are these communication boards free?
- Yes. Every board prints as a free PDF, and the board maker is free.
- Who are these boards for?
- Adults who cannot speak for now or find speech hard: patients in the hospital, people with aphasia after a stroke, autistic adults who are nonspeaking and people with dementia. The photos show adults, not cartoons.
- Why are Yes and No in the corners?
- They are the answers used most, so every board puts Yes top-left and No top-right with a thicker green and red border. They stay easy to tell apart when printed in black and white.
- Can I make my own board?
- Yes. Open any board in the maker to change the words, swap a photo for one of your own or pick a bigger or smaller grid, then print.
