Set up a real conversation

Open this board while choosing a comfortable resting place. Offer choices about light, sound and nearby objects.

Words to have nearby

• I am tired
• I am not sleepy
• My blanket
• Lights down
• Quiet please

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 “I need a break” 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

Use the board to describe a cozy spot without requiring sleep.

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.
