We have created a number of visuals for children but want to improve on them and make them more accessible to our participants. If you are a speech-language pathologist or the parent of a child with ASD who also uses a communication board and if you have access to boardmaker or other picture generating software, this might be an ideal volunteer role for you! This project involves: 1. creating a communication board for children to use Try a Bike day (we have a model to start from) 2. gathering feedback from families who use the communication board to update it for use at March and April fitting days. 3. reviewing and making suggestions for Fitting day social stories
