Wales: Welsh parks helping children communicate


Symbol based boards have been installed in parks across Wales to help children with speech and language barriers communicate easily.

Communication boards display symbols for common words, in Welsh and English, like ‘happy’, ‘want’ and ‘finished’.

Children with speech difficulties can point to the boards designed by specialist speech and language therapists to express their wants and needs to others.

The bilingual boards also help non-Welsh speaking families learn basic Welsh words.

Following a successful pilot in west Wales, £78,000 was invested by the Welsh Government to roll out the boards across Wales, to create inclusive play spaces for all children.
