ABSTRACT
What is on the board should be tailored specifically to the needs of the people
who access it and the activities or support that are provided. The message that
is conveyed is ‘welcome’ and this can be the first opportunity to make someone
feel valued when they enter an environment whether it is a day service, classroom
or youth club. The board should be accessible to the communication needs of
the people who use the setting. This can be achieved using an extensive range of
communication methods, including words, symbols, photos and objects to enable
people to understand it.
