Communication Boards as Support for Communication

Communication boards are tools used to support those who cannot communicate through speech. They can be used to discuss topics related to sexuality.

Communication boards contain words and images related to sexuality, such as emotions, body parts, sexual acts, consent, and safety. The use of images can facilitate understanding and enhance the flow of communication.

Communication boards are used to support sentence-level communication. They are used by pointing to the desired image. It is important to use the board to support one’s speech, which slows down and clarifies the speech. At the same time, the conversation partner learns the meaning of the images and gets a model for using the board. Boards can be used to form complete sentences or as supporting images during a conversation.

Communication boards can be, for example, tablet-based boards or printed sheets that contain images related to specific topics. Each sheet has one topic area with related images. SelkoSeks communication boards are designed to help with tasks such as visiting the doctor, maintaining intimate hygiene, or practicing masturbation.

The boards contain key words suitable for the desired situation, aiming to facilitate and support communication in these specific situations. You do not have to rely solely on these boards in a situation, as the board includes an image for ”I can’t find the symbol.” This image helps start the process of clarifying the desired topic using different communication methods.

The communication boards and their images are chosen based on the situations. The image is selected to best match the situation. To facilitate communication, question words are found on the left side of the board. The images are categorized by parts of speech and color-coded: blue for people, red for verbs, green for adjectives, and yellow for nouns. Color-coding also helps to speed up and smooth out communication and usability. The images on the communication boards are placed in the same locations across different boards; for example, the images for the verbs ”want” and ”do not want” are usually at the top, side by side, on these SelkoSeks boards.

The user group includes individuals with difficulties in speech production and comprehension. Boards can also be used as aids in activity management, which helps progress in various situations. Professionals from various fields can also use the boards to support speech.

You can download the boards to your device after purchase and print them for use. You can find ready-made communication boards (16 pcs) in the SelkoSeks online store:
