Set up a real conversation

Offer the board during an ordinary conversation. Let the communicator describe their own feeling without assigning one from their expression.

Words to have nearby

• Happy
• Sad
• Angry
• Worried
• Excited

The board also keeps yes, no, help and stop nearby. Use these messages for real choices and responses, without requiring a particular button as the correct answer.

One way to join in

You could model “Something else” when it fits your own meaning, then leave time for the other person’s idea. Respond to their chosen message, gesture or other communication, including a refusal or a different plan.

Try another version

Talk about feelings in a favorite story as well as feelings today.

Make it fit the communicator

Choose a comfortable screen position and button size. Keep their usual vocabulary available alongside the activity. A person can participate by speaking, pointing, looking, signing or using another established access method. The browser board offers direct touch or click; it does not provide a complete individualized access setup.

The original page is labeled Device-test draft. Before adding a native file to an everyday device, back up the existing vocabulary and check the imported pictures, speech and navigation separately. See the import guide.
