Hitting it Out of the Park.

Connecting Communities with Nature.
Communication accessibility is vital even in the heart of nature. At the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, our specialized board enables visitors of all ages to identify wildlife, explore habitats, and share their experiences effectively.
Inclusive Excellence for Military Families.
Our partnership with the Seymour Johnson Air Force Base reflects our mission to bridge communication barriers in all environments. By installing these boards, the FSS ensures that children of military families have accessible visual supports in centers designed for community growth and care.
Empowering Voices on The Farm.
In specialized care settings, communication is the key to meaningful connection. For the Woods System of Care, we developed a bespoke board that allows residents to interact with therapy animals and navigate farm-based learning with confidence.
We added custom symbols specifically for this project to ensure residents could communicate about their environment:
- Pig & Goat Icons
- Petting & Feeding
- Soft & Furry
- Barn & Fence
- Hay & Tractor
- Happy & Excited
