Communication Boards have been installed at several playgrounds in the City's parks. 

Landscape Structures’ Symbol Communication Signs includes pictures representing nouns/pronouns, verbs, feelings, activities, and playground events as well as letters and numbers. 

Pictures and symbols are an effective way for non-verbal, speech-challenged, early-learning individuals, and those who speak a different language to communicate with friends and caregivers. Placing a Symbol Communication Sign at the entrance to a play area helps everyone to express themselves! 

The graphics are simple and two-dimensional, which is helpful to those with visual processing challenges. They are arranged left-to-right as one would build a sentence. Additionally, symbols are placed on a black background to be easier to read for those with visual impairments.
