Emergency Communication Boards

Posted by 14 on the 11th May, 2010

Not wanting to invoke any disasters! But during any emergency, communication is vitally important. The Institute on Disabilities, Temple University, Philadelphia, moved by the recent Haiti earthquake disaster, offers for free download a double sided sheet called Emergency Communication 4 ALL (picture symbol  and letter/word versions available). It's a very basic communication board and Passport in one. There is also a sheet of Tips for Communicating with Someone Who Needs Assistance. AAC services might use these for ideas to create their own version, or even just print it as is and perhaps provide to local community emergency responders such as firefighter services.
