The Mission

Because Every Player Deserves a Voice

In the fast-paced environment of baseball practice, verbal instructions can often get lost in the noise. A communication board provides a permanent, visual anchor for athletes who struggle with auditory processing or expressive language.

Real-Time Coaching Coaches can use the field diagram to visually explain positions and plays, turning abstract concepts into concrete actions.
Peer Socialization Allows players to celebrate with "Good job," "I'm happy," or "Let's play," building the social bonds essential for team spirit.
Safety & Comfort Gives athletes a quick way to communicate physical needs like "thirsty," "hurt," or "headphones" without the stress of verbalizing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the answers to your most common questions about our communication boards and services, helping you create a more inclusive and supportive environment from the start.

Can the communication board be customized for my school?

Yes! The board can be personalized with your school’s name and logo to create a professional and welcoming environment for students. We can also match the color of the board to your district or organization’s logo color for a cohesive look. Once the order is placed, our team will reach out to request a high-resolution version of your logo. You can also customize the vocabulary or symbols used on the board to better fit the specific needs of your students.

What is the ordering process for the communication board?

You can order the board directly from our website or contact our sales team for a custom quote. After you provide your school’s details, we’ll send you a design proof for approval before production begins. Once the design is finalized, the board will be produced and shipped to you.

Is there any maintenance required?

Our outdoor playground communication boards are made from durable, weather-resistant materials, including 3mm aluminum with a polyethylene core and printed with eco-friendly, fade-resistant UV ink. To keep your board in excellent condition:

  • Regular Cleaning: Wipe the board with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the UV protective coating.
  • Inspect for Damage: Regularly check the board for any signs of wear, especially around the mounting points. If necessary, tighten any loose hardware to ensure the board stays securely in place.
  • UV Protection: Our boards come with an extra UV protection layer, ensuring they resist fading and maintain their vibrant colors for up to 5+ years, even in outdoor conditions.
  • Long-Term Care: Depending on the local climate, you may want to inspect the board seasonally to ensure it continues to look and function its best.

With proper care, your outdoor communication board will last many years, providing an inclusive and engaging experience for children.

How does the color-coding system work?

The communication board uses the Fitzgerald Key color-coding system, a widely recognized method in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). This system categorizes symbols by color to represent different parts of speech, making it easier for students to find and use the correct words. For example, verbs might be in green, nouns in orange, and descriptors in purple. This intuitive system simplifies communication, especially for students with special education needs, by helping them quickly locate the symbols they need to express their thoughts and feelings.

Do you offer bilingual communication boards in other languages?

Yes, we offer bilingual boards! We currently have boards available in English/Spanish and English/Portuguese. However, our team is able to design bilingual boards in any language combination at no additional cost. Simply let us know your preferred languages when placing your order, and we will customize the board to meet your needs.

How durable is the board?

Our communication boards are designed for long-lasting durability, made from 3mm aluminum with a solid polyethylene core. They are printed with eco-friendly, UV-resistant ink and coated with an additional UV-protective glossy layer to withstand harsh outdoor elements. Whether used indoors or outdoors, these boards are resistant to fading, abrasion, and weather damage. With proper installation and care, the board can last for 5+ years outdoors.
