A 2024 Grant for Warren County Public Schools Special Services

The goal of this project is to create inclusive playgrounds for elementary school students who are non-verbal or may have difficulty communicating with their peers. These students will be given a voice through the use of an enlarged communication board on the playground. These boards will allow access to universal communication in the form of visual pictures that represent words. They will allow staff to model and encourage peer interactions, ultimately leading to independent peer interactions. The grant will go toward the costs for making and installing communication boards.
