Fostering clear communication is essential in therapy settings, especially for children who are non-speaking or have limited speech abilities. The Therapy Services Communication Board is designed specifically for pediatric clinics and hospitals, providing a comprehensive and inclusive communication tool that ensures every child can express themselves effectively during therapy sessions and interactions with caregivers.

Key Features

1. 108 Essential Words and Phrases

The board includes a comprehensive selection of 108 essential words and phrases carefully chosen for use during therapy sessions. From body parts and emotions to therapy-related actions, the board enhances communication between patients and therapists. This extensive vocabulary enables patients to communicate their needs clearly, making therapy more productive and improving patient-practitioner interaction.

2. Versatile Use in Therapy Rooms, Hallways, and Waiting Areas

This board is designed to be used in a variety of settings throughout a pediatric therapy clinic, each serving a different purpose:

• Therapy Rooms: In one-on-one sessions, this board serves as a crucial tool for therapists to understand their patients’ needs and emotions. It allows children to express how they are feeling, point out areas of discomfort, or participate in therapeutic activities.
• Clinic Hallways: Placed in hallways, the board promotes ongoing communication and interaction as patients transition between rooms, offering additional opportunities to express themselves in a familiar, comfortable way.
• Waiting Rooms: In waiting areas, the board can ease anxiety by giving children a way to interact with their caregivers before their session begins, helping them communicate any fears, discomfort, or excitement they may be feeling.

3. Inclusive Design for Pediatric Settings

Perfectly suited for pediatric clinics and hospitals, this communication board helps create a welcoming and inclusive environment. By offering children who are non-verbal or have limited speech abilities a reliable way to communicate, the board acts as a vital bridge, ensuring that every child’s voice is heard. This promotes a sense of empowerment, making therapy sessions and clinic visits more productive and engaging.

4.Durable and Hygienic Design

The Therapy Services Communication Board is made from 3mm aluminum with a solid polyethylene core, ensuring strength and durability in high-traffic pediatric clinics. The board is printed with UV-resistant, fade-resistant ink to maintain clarity and color over time. It can be cleaned easily using standard cleaning and sanitizing products, making it suitable for frequent use in therapy rooms, hallways, and waiting areas.

. Clear Instructions for Therapists, Caregivers, and Patients

The board includes simple, easy-to-follow instructions to guide therapy providers, caregivers, and patients in using the symbols effectively. These instructions help normalize its use in different clinic environments, making communication easier in therapy rooms, hallways, and waiting areas. This allows patients to express themselves more confidently and caregivers to better understand their needs.

6. Customizable for Clinics

This communication board is fully customizable. You can add your clinic’s name, logo, or specific symbols tailored to your therapy practices. Personalization ensures that the board is not only a functional tool but also a reflection of your clinic’s commitment to inclusivity and patient-centered care.
