Make Your Community More Inclusive with Communication Boards
Communication Signs for Public spaces
All children have a right to communication access.
Public communication displays can help achieve this goal.
Communication
At Smarty Symbols, we believe that effective communication is the cornerstone of community engagement. Our mission is to empower every individual with the ability to express themselves, regardless of their verbal abilities or linguistic background. Our community-based communication boards are designed with this goal in mind, featuring intuitive symbols, multiple languages, and interactive elements that make communication accessible and engaging.
Belonging
Creating a sense of belonging is at the heart of our initiatives. We strive to ensure that everyone, especially those who often feel marginalized or overlooked due to communication challenges, feels included and valued in their community. Our communication boards are more than just functional tools; they are a symbol of inclusivity, designed to reflect the diversity of the communities they serve.
Access
Access to communication is a fundamental right, not a privilege. Smarty Symbols is dedicated to enhancing access to this right by integrating our communication boards into as many community spaces as possible. These boards are strategically placed to be easily accessible physically and cognitively, ensuring that individuals of all ages and abilities can use them effectively.
