WHY COMBINE SENSORY PLAY WITH COMMUNICATION BOARDS?
When children dig, scoop, pour, sift, and build, they are naturally motivated to communicate.
Sensory play provides:
- Tactile and visual learning for all learners
- Fine motor skill development and sensory regulation
- Language-rich moments for modeling, requesting, and describing
-
Inclusive communication opportunities for AAC and PECS users
The consistent AAC-style layout supports modeling, repetition, and independence during play.
