Communication Device Templates
Our Assistive Technology library includes several communication devices that can be checked out by administrators and teachers within the region we serve. Below are templates that can be used with Boardmaker to create overlays for these devices. More templates for other devices coming soon.

Boardmaker
The RTC provided Boardmaker software at many of our trainings. So we created these downloadable PDF visuals and Boardmaker Files (BPF) of some of the preschool-appropriate symbols. Use them for lesson plans, classroom communication, vocabulary and other activities. Visit Go Boardmaker to access already created activities from the Boardmaker Community.
