These Aided Language Supports are visual communication tools designed to increase access, participation, and expressive language for individuals with complex communication needs across everyday routines, instruction, and play. They include core vocabulary boards, activity-specific communication boards, flipbooks, and script supports that provide consistent, high-frequency language paired with context-specific words to help learners request, comment, follow directions, and engage socially. By combining core words with meaningful activities (e.g., play, cooking, art, routines), these supports promote functional communication, language development, and independence while reducing cognitive load and communication breakdowns.

These tools are designed for flexible use across settings and partners, supporting aided language modeling, choice-making, and participation in inclusive environments. Portable formats (lanyards, flipbooks) ensure language is always available, while bilingual and expanded versions support multilingual learners and growing communicative competence. Together, they create a cohesive, multimodal communication system that helps learners move from supported participation to more independent and generative language use.
