Unlock your child's communication potential with our
engaging toys featuring Aided Language Boards (ALBs).
What is an Aided Language Board?
An Aided Language Board is a visual communication tool that
helps children express themselves using symbols and pictures.
How to Use an Aided Language Board:
Simply place the board in front of your child whilst playing
with the toy and model the use of the board by pointing to symbols as you
speak, which helps your child learn how to use it effectively.
Benefits of Using an Aided Language Board:
Enhanced Communication: Supports children in
expressing themselves.
Language Development: Supports your child’s language
development, with different boards for Analytic Language Processors (ALPs) and
Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs).
Increased Independence: Empowers children to
communicate their thoughts more independently.
Social Interaction: Facilitates interactions with
peers and adults, supporting relationships and connection.
Toys with Aided Language Boards are the perfect addition to any child's communication toolkit, making learning and interaction fun and effective.
