Example #2: A Parks and Recreation Team Improves Safety and Communication
A mid-size parks department wanted more inclusive features but had limited funds.
After consulting with SLPs and community disability advocates,
they chose communication boards as a cost-effective first step.
The results were immediate.
Staff members noticed that communication breakdowns—
especially among toddlers and neurodivergent children—decreased dramatically.
Common phrases children used:
“I’m hurt.”,“I need help.”,“Bathroom.”,“I’m sad.”
This is the smallest investment with the biggest impact.
Example #3: Integrating Boards Into Special Needs Playground Equipment
A school district upgraded several playgrounds with sensory-friendly equipment.
However, teachers noticed children struggled to communicate during group play activities.
SLPs collaborated with the district to install:
A large main communication board at the entrance, Smaller boards near the swings and slides
Students communicate more effectively across settings—from recess to therapy to the classroom.
How does one stay informed as inclusive playground solutions continue to evolve?
Staying Current With Playground Communication Trends
The landscape of inclusive design is evolving quickly.
Here’s how parks departments, educators, SLPs, and families can stay informed.
Example #1: A Child With Autism Finds His Voice at the Playground
“Evan,” age 5, visited his neighborhood playground weekly.
His parents worried because he typically paced the perimeter rather than joining other children.
He often became frustrated and melted down when approached or redirected.
After the city installed playground communication boards,
Evan’s mom showed him how to point to “swing” and “my turn.”
Within two weeks, Evan began initiating play for the first time.
He pointed to “go,” looked at another child, and climbed onto the swings—smiling.
Today, Evan uses 15–20 playground vocabulary symbols independently.
His parents credit the board for giving him social confidence and reducing meltdowns.
