Creating Inclusive Spaces: Win a School Nurse Communication Board from Smarty Symbols

At Smarty Symbols, we are committed to fostering environments where every student feels understood and supported. Our School Nurse Communication Board is designed to ensure that students with diverse communication needs can express themselves clearly and confidently, especially in moments when they need care the most.

We are excited to offer schools a chance to receive one of our thoughtfully designed communication boards for their nurse’s office. These boards are more than just a tool; they are a vital resource for ensuring that all students—whether verbal or non-verbal—can share their needs in a safe and inclusive space.

By integrating these communication boards into your nurse’s office, you are taking an important step toward building a school environment that truly values every voice. We invite you to share your school’s vision for inclusion and participate in this opportunity to make a lasting impact.

About the Board:

The Smarty Symbols School Nurse’s Office Communication Board is a tool designed to facilitate communication within the school nurse’s office during crucial care.

Key Features:

  • Special Education Image Set: Features images from the Smarty Symbols image library, a globally recognized collection of visuals designed specifically for special education and communication needs.
  • Color-Coding System: Employs an internationally recognized color-coding system to enhance clarity, making it easier for students to express their needs, symptoms, and emotions.
  • Pain Scale & Body Image: Includes a visual pain scale and a body image chart, enabling students to indicate where they feel discomfort and the severity of their pain.
  • Free Mobile App – Expressive Go: Provides access to “Expressive Go,” a mobile version of the communication board, allowing students to communicate their needs even outside the nurse’s office.
  • Tailored Instructions: Comes with clear, concise instructions to ensure ease of use for students and staff.
  • Estimated Lifespan: 5+ years outdoors with proper placement and care. Given that these signs would be usually placed indoors, they will likely last many years.
