My Project

Students that may need extra supports or are non verbal will be able to communicate more efficiently using boardmaker. Boardmaker is a special education tool that is a symbol-based teaching solution, Boardmaker supports learning and communication and has access to over 80,000 Picture Communication Symbols (PCS®).

My goal is to allow all students to socialize, interact and participate without any restrictions.

This will add additional tools across all classes and subject areas, allowing my students to become more successful. They would really appreciate this and we would like to thank you for your support!
