Icon board

Some children and adults cannot speak well in their own voices or speak little Dutch. A pictogram board helps them communicate with people around them.

How do you use an icon board?

On the pictogram board are pictograms. These are words in the form of symbols. Children or adults who can speak (Dutch) point to a pictogram while pronouncing the word. This way the other person learns what the pictogram means. The pictogram supports the spoken language. This helps to understand each other better. Want to know more about how to use the board?

For example, by pointing to the words "We are going to the swing" while speaking, the pictograms support what is being said.
